Street trees are an important part of the Glen Iris streetscape and the City of Cockburn requires that they be planted in new residential estates, to increase canopy cover and contribute to the health and well-being of new communities.
The installation of street trees is one of the minimum requirements that homeowners in Glen Iris need to meet in order to qualify for their front landscaping rebates. To help you understand what is required, we have created a practical Street Tree Document that outlines everything you need to know before your tree is installed.
The document explains the City’s requirements around street tree species and placement, as well as how many trees will be allocated to your homesite. It also provides guidance on how and when to request your street tree and preparing your verge and irrigation before installation, which is an important step in the process.
You’ll also find practical information on caring for your street tree during its establishment period, including watering requirements and maintenance tips to help it thrive.
We encourage all homeowners to review the Street Tree Document before commencing their landscaping.
