We plant and replace trees each year across the municipality - and Moroney Street in Bairnsdale has been chosen for a project to complement the urban street improvements completed in the area recently.

The species of trees chosen is based on:

• Site conditions including utilities (power, water, gas etc), soil profile and space available

• Existing vegetation in the locality

• Future-proofing for expected climate changes

• Minimising ongoing maintenance requirements for Council

• Stock availability

We are informing property owners what species Council intends to plant on their nature strip as part of this project. The streetscape has been designed by Council’s Arborist, Parks & Gardens Coordinator and Open Space Officer.

A map of the streetscape is available. Click on the Maps tab here.

Impacted property owners have been contacted and given the opportunity to review the streetscape design and provide feedback, which can be done by contacting Council’s Open Space Officer on 5153 9500 or email feedback@egipps.vic.gov.au.
