What do I do if my nature strip tree is causing a mess?

Council maintains nature strips, significant roadside vegetation and nature strip trees to manage risk, tree health and biodiversity in line with the Council adopted Road Management Policy, Biodiversity Action Plan and Urban Forest Policy.

Maintenance of urban nature strips for purposes of visual presentation is generally considered the responsibility of the abutting resident. Fallen leaves, twigs, fruit and flowers are considered natural expected tree behaviour and not a valid reason for tree removal.

Cyclic tree inspection and asset inspection programs proactively identify risks and rectify defects to comply with policies and standards.
