Greening our City

Mosman Council has received grant funding from the NSW Department for Planning and Environment through its Greening our City program for street tree planting along Military Road, providing a gateway to the local government area from the western end. 

The sites for tree planting were identified from Mosman Council’s Street Trees Priority Strategy completed in 2022 and funded through the NSW Government’s Greener Neighbourhoods program.

The vision for the project, which is to increase tree canopy and vegetation cover to mitigate urban heat, increase biodiversity, sequester carbon, and reduce and treat stormwater runoff, aligns with Mosman Council’s Climate Action Plan – Mitigation Strategy and its objective to ‘enhance the biodiversity and urban tree canopy to build resilience and preserve Mosman’s environmental character’.

The project will increase the total percentage of tree canopy throughout Mosman.
