Council is responsible for the maintenance of trees on Council land and naturestrips throughout township areas.Nature strip trees are maintained through a 2-year cyclic pruning program to ensure road, footpath and power line clearance, good appearance and condition. Only trees that are dead, dying or dangerous will be removed.
All enquiries regarding nature strip trees including fallen branches, pruning, inspections and replacement or planting of street trees should be directed to Council on (03) 5450 9333.
Powerline clearance is conducted by local power authorities throughout the Shire with the exception of Kerang where Council is responsible.
Gannawarra Shire Council is able to offer residents two street trees per property to be planted on the naturestrip. We have a selection of species available for naturestrips with or with out overhead power lines.
To apply for the plants below for your naturestrip, please download the appropriate application form found at the bottom of this page and mail it back to us. We will generally be able to deliver the plants to your door within 2-3 weeks.
Council is unable to provide you with species other than those listed here, however should you wish to purchase your own street trees please contact Council first to ensure their suitability.
