Street Trees in Waverley Rd (Springvale-Gallaghers Rd), Glen Waverley
The Street Tree Strategy aims to enhance and preserve Monash’s street tree canopy to ensure it continues to be a source of neighbourhood and city pride. We hope to create engaging and inviting green spaces, encouraging walking, cycling and street activity and delivering tangible benefits to local communities.
Our focus is on preserving trees that are healthy and creating additional planting in local parks and reserves to boost greenery.
We will only be removing and replacing those trees that are dead, dying (with a useful life expectancy of less than two years) or dangerous (they pose a risk to the community in the short term).
Street Tree Assessments
Council’s arborist has completed individual tree assessments based on the above criteria and in Waverley Road (Springvale Road to Gallaghers Road), Glen Waverley we propose to remove three trees and plant a total of 24 trees, which includes an additional 23 trees in vacant locations.
Replacement Tree Species
Council’s Street Tree Strategy team has chosen an appropriate species for the location - the Tristaniopsis laurina ‘Luscious’ (Luscious Kanooka). More info:
