Murwillumbah St, Murwillumbah
The previous trees were located in the concrete blisters adjacent to car parks, but have been progressively removed due to ill health of the trees and ensuring the safety of people and property. Council is coordinating project details and will continue to communicate with businesses and community members once more information is available regarding a cost-effective approach to planting and streetscaping in this area.
These street trees provide value to the overall amenity of the main street in Murwillumbah, making it a place where people are more likely to linger, shop and be active in the community.
The Cool Towns Urban Forest Program is focused on increasing the quantity and quality of tree canopy in the Tweed, providing shade and cooling in the places we live, work and play.
