2024 tree planting - 1,300 trees

2024 tree planting projects - more than 1,300 trees planted!

Our teams planted more than 1,300 trees in urban areas of the Tweed in 2024. This included trees along pedestrian pathways, on nature strips outside houses, parks and public places to bring shade and cooling to the places we live, work and play. In 2024, our planting included a community tree planting day and schools planting day for National Tree Day, so well done to everyone who got involved in creating Cool Towns across the Tweed!

Key projects included:

• Bellevue Estate, Murwillumbah (completed)
• Overall Drive, Pottsville (completed)
• Covent Gardens Way, Banora Point (re-scheduled)
• National Tree Day - Banora Point (completed)
• Avondale Drive, Banora Point (along pathway - completed)

Residents who requested a tree for their verge via the Tree Planting Request Form will be assessed by an Arborist for site suitability and if appropriate, added to the planting list for the winter 2025 season.
