Street tree planting request
Residents can lodge requests for a tree to be planted, however requests for trees on a verge will only be considered in consultation with the owner of the adjacent property.
Street tree planting requests for 2027 are now open
The City of Canning is planning to plant over 1,110 new street trees in 2027, and we need your help to make it happen! Residents can choose from seven tree species, with planting expected to take place between May and September 2027.
Request a particular species
A resident can request a particular type of tree species, however the City will ultimately choose a species appropriate to its tree planting program.
If there is room on the verge for more than one tree, this option may be possible.
What happens with the request?
After you've submitted your request for a new tree:
- Tree planting requests are assessed according to location, the species availability and resources as per our Trees in Streets, Thoroughfares and Parks policy.
- An Officer will assess the request and respond.
- New street trees are planted in the cool months, after the rains have started.
- New trees will be watered and maintained by the City for the first two summers.
How can you help?
Additional care by residents is greatly appreciated and will help assist plant survival and growth. To help, you can:
- provide additional water for trees in the summer months
- keep grass away from the base of developing trees
- avoid damaging trees when mowing lawns
- report damaged trees to the City so that replacements can be arranged
- avoid parking too close to the tree.
Request
- To request a new tree for your verge, please complete the form.
- An officer will contact you via email, when trees have been secured. This typically occurs in November each year.
