Cool Towns - increasing shade and reducing urban heat in the Tweed Shire

The Tweed’s natural landscape and biodiversity is of international significance and Cool Towns aims to bring the benefits of nature into urban centres. Trees in urban areas bring a multitude of benefits to the community, the environment and the economy, including:


Benefits of treesSummary of the broad array of benefits trees provide


Our goal for Cool Towns is to increase the amount and quality of tree canopy within urban areas of the Tweed, including all trees and vegetation, providing shade, cooling and amenity values. Areas of focus may include:

  • Natural shade for parks, playgrounds and open spaces
  • Street trees along arterial roads, shared paths, civic spaces and residential streets with minimal tree coverage

Tell us where we need more street trees

Where are the public spaces that need more trees for shade and cooling?

Have your say to let us know about the parks, walkways, pedestrian areas or streets that need more shade coverage to help us prioritise where funding should be spent for new tree planting projects.

Take the survey, or drop a pin on our interactive map.

Request a tree on your nature strip
