A range of elements contribute to informing species selection for our municipality. Our Arborists have many years of experience and industry knowledge to apply in determining which species are best suited to Hobsons Bay's local climatic conditions. Considerations are given to the below to ensure our urban forest will be healthy and provide maximum benefit for many years to come.
This street tree species matrix contains a combination of native and exotic species. The matrix is intended to guide suitable tree selection within our municipality for Council tree plantings.
The matrix is separated into 5 categories, which outline appropriate tree species for each location, depending on the space available at each planting site.
