The dry summer makes life hard for our street trees. Watering is carried out regularly but the trees also appreciate a helping hand from residents.

Please keep an eye on the tree outside your place - if it’s looking dry feel free to give it a drink with a hand-held hose or a watering can either early in the morning or late in the evening. Using recycled water from the bath or sink is also a good idea.

If you notice a problem with a street tree, please contact Council on Ph: 03 520 7400.
