As part of the Council's commitment to create a sustainable and thriving environment, we are aiming to plant over 750 trees across a variety of street and park planting projects in 2025. Data provided by our Urban Tree Canopy Strategy, along with canopy data provided by NSW Government and requests from residents, have been used to identify priority streets and spaces with low canopy cover.

The Urban Forest and Ecology Team a re currently working with industry leading consultants to create a Street Tree Masterplan that will ensure we continue to get the "right tree in the right place."

To learn more about our strategy and goals to increase canopy cover across the City, please visit our tree page on the Council website.

Project background

The City of Canada Bay aims to plant as many new trees as possible every year as part of our Urban Tree Canopy Strategy, which helps to support our community to live in vibrant, resilient places that connect people. Urban canopies not only help keep streets cooler, the trees also remove carbon, produce more oxygen, provide habitat and filter stormwater and air pollution as well. A bonus to this is that street tree canopies are beautiful and add value and charm to our streets.

Council received a grant from the NSW Government as part of the Greening Our City Grant. Council has undertaken 3 rounds to deliver against this grant, and between 2023 and 2025 we are delivering round 4.
