2025/26 Street Tree Planting Program [Stage 1]

Our annual street planting program aims to ensure a tree-lined, covered and cool streetscape that, once mature, will create a consistent, attractive avenue of trees of a similar size, shape and look. We're planting trees in approximately 127 streets across our city from 1 July to 30 September 2025 to help meet our planting target of 1,200 trees in streets in Stage 1 of the annual planting program. These new trees will contribute to our Tree Canopy Improvement Strategy which will deliver 25% tree canopy cover for our city.

Tree Species Consultation

Our qualified technical staff are responsible for determining the tree species for planting in each street environment. In most cases, we will continue to plant the dominant or most suitable tree type already established in the street.

Where a selected street has few or no trees, or most existing trees will be removed for replacement because of poor health, performance or suitability, that street is invited to vote on one of two tree options for planting. This allows resident to have input into the tree type that will become the new dominant tree species for the street into the future.

We recently invited selected streets in the 2025/26 Stage 1 planting program to vote on their preferred tree species for planting between July and September this year. Our qualified staff selected two species options for your street to choose from based on your street environment, such as (but not limited to) specific growing conditions, biodiversity and infrastructure.

The results of voting for the selected streets have been confirmed and are now available to view below.

Can’t find your street?

Check for streets that may be adjacent to your property (eg side-streets or rear-streets) as we may be planting on streets along the side or back of your property.

How many voted?

View the Species Voting Results here, including qualified staff selections and the reason for their choice (where there was no preference submitted, or there were equal votes).

You will be invited to share any comments in May 2025

All residents will have the opportunity to share any concerns about the planting before June (eg end-May 2025). You will receive a notification flyer direct to your letterbox or registered postal address in the coming months to share details about the upcoming planting and . Comments we might be able to consider include specific planting locations in the verge, advice about private infrastructure (eg artificial turf and irrigation to back of kerb and gutter), advice of development application under assessment or extenuating personal or property circumstances we may not be aware of.

Unsupported requests for 'No Tree' are not considered, and leaf fall, debris, tree mess or concerns about private property damage are not reasons we would agree to not to plant a tree in the verge. You can find out more information under the FAQs section on the Street Planting Program webpage or by reviewing the Tree Policy.

Feedback can be submitted to us using the contact details on this page at any time, but instructions will also be provided in the notification flyer you will receive in late-April/early May.

View more details about the tree species selected for planting in your street and follow the link to access more information and images of the tree at different stages of maturity and in different growing conditions using the Botanic Gardens of South Australia Plant Selector and Fleming's websites (as of March 2025).

The tree species are sorted alphabetically from A to Z.

The images provided via these sites are for illustrative purposes only and generally show the tree species at an established or mature age. They do not represent the actual tree size or attributes at the time that we will plant, or how the tree may grow within your specific street environment.

In late-April/early-May 2025, we’ll notify all streets or affected properties that are getting new trees. This will include the link to the interactive Tree Canopy Improvement Street Planting Map, which shows tree planting and removal locations and shares the nominated tree species for planting in each street. You can search a property address or location in the map to see what's happening at a street or local area level.

Residents will have the opportunity to share any special planting requests, feedback or concerns with us over approximately 3 to 4 weeks for consideration before planting plans are finalised and site preparation begins.

Residents cannot opt out of tree planting. If you have special circumstances or requests, you can share these with us from now through to end-May for consideration.

Preparation for planting and underground service location will begin in June, with trees planted underway in streets from July through to end-September to take advantage of cooler, wetter weather.
