Street Tree Masterplan

Blue Mountains City Council has prepared a Draft Street Tree Masterplan aimed at residents, Council staff and developers whose proposals interact with public streets in town and village centres. The Street Tree Masterplan aims to coordinate species to maximise both the functional and aesthetic standards and performance of trees in the public domain. It also seeks to set higher technical standards for species selection, planting and maintenance of trees throughout the Local Government Area.

The Street Tree Masterplan will be exhibited from Wednesday 5 May – until COB 4 June 2010 inclusive at the following locations: Council Libraries; Katoomba and Springwood Council offices, between the hours of 8:30 am to 5 pm Monday to Friday; and Council’s website www.bmcc.nsw.gov.au.
