Trees Register on Public Land

The Register of Significant Trees on Public Land was adopted by Council in 2012. The Register aims to increase awareness of iconic trees across the city amongst Council staff, contractors, external agencies and the community.

A greater appreciation for these trees will result in added protection, particularly in regards to infrastructure upgrades, development and capital works projects. The trees were assessed using the National Trust of Victoria's 12 significance criteria, which includes the following criteria: 

  • horticultural or genetic value
  • location or landscape context
  • rare or localised
  • particularly old
  • outstanding size
  • aesthetic value
  • curious growth form
  • historic value
  • aboriginal culture
  • outstanding example of a species
  • remnant
  • outstanding habitat value.

We welcome nominations to add an additional tree to the register. Trees can be located on any land owned or managed by Council including parks, natural reserves, nature strips, foreshore and more.

Nominated trees will be assessed by Council's Vegetation Protection Officer and if approved, will be added to the Register.

Trees located on land not owned or managed by Council are not included.
