What is happening in Hillview Avenue?

New road and drainage improvement works have begun along Hillview Avenue in Pascoe Vale South.

As part of these improvement works, we will be planting some new trees. They will fill gaps in the nature strip. We will also be installing passive irrigation for these trees, through kerbside inlets.

We would like to involve the local community with selection of tree species to be planted into specified gaps within the nature strips in Hillview Avenue.
