Naturestrip Trees
Faults or damage to any nature strip tree should be reported to Council. If the tree is on the naturestrip in front of your property and requires urgent attention or inspection, removal or replacement, please call Parks & Works Depot Services on 1300 88 22 33.
Council has a tree replacement program and your request can be placed on this database for the planting season that starts mid May each year. (Weather permitting)
