Background
The City’s Sustainable Sydney 2030 vision includes commitments
to increase tree canopy cover by 50% by 2030, to green our City and improve the
amenity of our streets. In 2011, Council adopted the City’s Street Tree Master Plan which identifies a range of in-road tree planting sites
such as Morehead Street, Redfern.
A raised median on Morehead Street will present a valuable
opportunity to increase tree canopy in the street as well as increasing safety
by reducing vehicle speeds.
