Bayside Tree Strategy

Bayside has a significant vegetation coverage that is valued by its residents. This vegetation is found on residential property, schools, industrial land, golf courses, lining our streets, on Council-owned land and managed parks and reserves, and on other public land (eg railway and road reserves). The nature of housing stock in Bayside is changing, with increased densities and reduced open space on private allotments. This along with senescence of many trees is resulting in a reduction in the tree canopy of the City. This Strategy has been developed to provide a framework of actions to ensure that the future public and private spaces within Bayside are well treed.
