As part of the NSW Government's Greening Our City Grant, Council is planting approximately 455 trees in 2024. Council is also aiming to plant an additional 600 trees through a number of other tree planting projects. Data provided by our Urban Tree Canopy Strategy and requests from residents have been used to identify numerous plantable spaces with low canopy cover.

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 in 2023 we are undertaking round 4.
