In June 2024 we consulted with residents and owners of properties on Guthrie Street, Brunswick.
We asked asked about support for the proposal to install in-road tree pits in the centre of the road and for preferred tree species to be planted. We heard from people through:
- an online survey
- a paper survey
- a face-to-face session held in the street on 22 June.
A big thank you to all those who participated!
We received 49 responses with a strong majority in favour of constructing in-road tree pits in the centre of Guthrie Street. Quercus cerris (Turkey Oak) was the preferred species for planting in the in-road tree pits.
What happens next?
Council will now develop a more detailed draft streetscape plan with proposed locations for centre road tree pits. The detailed plan will be informed by service checks that are scheduled to take place from September to October 2024. Analysis of vehicle movement requirements will ensure that the in-road tree pits will not hinder driveway access.
The draft plan will be available online in late November and we will be happy to discuss details or preferences with residents or owners regarding the placement of the tree pits or other matters.
