Urban Forest Strategic Plan
The Urban Forest Strategic Plan outlines Council’s approach to increasing canopy cover across the City and identifies a maximum achievable canopy cover. The plan focuses primarily on the protection, management and growth of urban tree canopy.
When you gaze out your window and see trees and shrubs, you're gazing at the urban forest. The urban forest encompasses all the trees in our City, including trees in parks, along streets, in backyards and other green spaces.

The plan aligns with our Community Strategic Plan, CBCity 2036 and Council’s Local Strategic Planning Statement, Connective City 2036. It also aligns with the priorities and vision of a number of local and state level documents, ensuring that local plans connect with NSW's regional and district priorities.
