Street Trees in Tweed Heads South

In May 2023, our Parks and Active Communities team planted 70 trees along streets in Tweed Heads South, providing future shade along pathways and roads where people actively travel. This planting project was funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments as part of the School Infrastructure grant program.

Trees planted included a mix of Tristaniopsis lucious, Elaeocarpus eumundii, Lophostemon confertus and Acmena hemilampra.

Council appreciates the support of local residents in caring for trees, with Council teams to maintain trees as they grow to promote safety, visibility and shade in the longer term.
