Advice
The Forum raised no issues with this Item..
Background
As part of the Inroad Tree Planting Program, the City proposes to install kerb blisters throughout the LGA as referenced from Table 1 above.
To achieve our adopted target of 27% canopy cover across the City of Sydney area, the City has set the following targets for the three main land use types:
· Streets - 34% canopy cover by 2050, (at 30.1% in 2024).
· Parks - 46% canopy cover by 2050, (at 35% in 2024).
· Private land - 20% canopy cover by 2050, (at 14.1% in 2024).
The canopy gap on our streets amounts to 24ha - the
equivalent of 13.6 Sydney Cricket Grounds or around 3,000 trees. To fill this
gap the city has been planting tree in streets through public domain upgrades
and renewals, and the Inroad Planting Program.
