The City of Bayswater has made a commitment to preserving and expanding the tree canopy across the City.
There are approximately 24,000 trees within road reserves and 9,000 within developed areas of public open space. Many of these will have values that are worthy of inclusion in the Significant Tree Register (STR).
Significant Tree Register
Whether a tree is naturally occurring, or was planted by the early founders of Bayswater, the STR will protect these trees and play a vital role in maintaining the tree canopy through heightened awareness of the importance of trees within the urban environment.
The STR will be part of the public education program presented to the community that discusses the benefits of trees, and will also serve as a reminder of historical elements around our natural features.
In order to ensure there is value to the Significant Tree Register, it is intended that any trees listed on this register should be considered an 'outstanding specimen'. This is not to say that trees excluded from this register are not of high value, but they may not fulfil the criteria of the Significant Tree Register.
The City has two Significant Tree Registers - one for trees on public land, and one for trees on private land. Read on to find out how to nominate a tree on public or private land.
