COVID-19 update
Our Customer Service Front Counter, Libraries and Gallery are open again following the easing of Victorian Government restrictions. Read our full COVID-19 update.
We carry out an annual tree planting program. The planting season runs from May to September of each year throughout Bayside.
If weather conditions permit, the season may commence in April and continue through to October. Street trees are contract grown, therefore the planting list closes at the end of December or early January each year.
We aim to plant trees into every available suitable vacant planting site. Tree species are guided by the street and park tree selection guide, and will consider the suitability of the tree for the specific site conditions.

If you don't have a tree on your nature strip, you can request a tree to beĀ planted the next planting season. The site will be inspected and if it is a suitable, you will be advised when the planting will be undertaken.
Every newly planted tree is subject to a 2 year establishment program which includes watering, mulching and formative pruning. Each tree is planted with a black plastic water well at its base and is mulched and staked.
