Street Tree Pruning Program
Council inspects and prunes nature strip trees every two years to ensure that:
- trees are clear of the overhead electric wires
- people are safe to use the footpaths without having to worry about the danger of low-hanging branches
- traffic is safe to use the roadway without having to worry about the danger of low branches
- they remove deadwood from trees
- they shape young trees.
Council has divided the municipality into 13 blocks. Council then prunes each block worked at a certain time over the two-year cycle.
