Application for street trees in Campaspe Shire to close soon

“Applications capture requests for a new street tree, replacement of an existing tree, or removal and replacements of a tree,” Mr Basham said.

“For new trees, residents are asked to help with the initial care and watering of the tree, particularly in the first year while the tree gets established.”

Applications are assessed by the council's arboriculture officer, taking into account a number of factors including neighbourhood character, height of the tree species, local conditions, and climate.

To obtain a street tree, lodge an online request through the council's website at https://www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/
