Increasing tree canopy in Chelsea Street, Redfern
This work will contribute to meeting our tree canopy targets in the local area.
Project Status: Completed
Works started in July 2022 and were completed in August 2022.
What we’re doing
We’re planting 3 new trees in the roadway on Chelsea Street, Redfern.
The large weeping lilli pilli trees (Waterhousea floribunda) will provide more shade and contribute to meeting our canopy targets in our greening Sydney strategy.
One parking space will be impacted as part of these works.
Shallow underground services prevent planting trees on the southern side of the street.
Steps will be taken to minimise impacts, but there will be some machinery noise and dust. There will also be temporary traffic changes to provide access for construction materials and equipment.
