Next steps

Township greening was identified as one of the key priorities by our Community in Alexandrina’s Community Strategic Plan (A2040).

There are currently no standard benchmarks for urban tree cover in Australia. Hence, the next steps for Council are to develop a Township Greening Strategy.

In the meantime, Council will commence planting trees where they are needed most: in the townships with the lowest canopy cover. Council will also educate our community on the importance to protect existing trees on private land.
