Street trees in Golf Links Avenue, Oakleigh

The trees in Golf Links Avenue, Oakleigh have been nominated for renewal as part of Council’s Street Tree Strategy.

The Street Tree Strategy aims to enhance and preserve Monash’s street tree canopy to ensure it continues to be a source of neighbourhood and city pride. We hope to create engaging and inviting green spaces, encouraging walking, cycling and street activity and delivering tangible benefits to local communities.

Our focus is on preserving trees that are healthy and creating additional planting in local parks and reserves to boost greenery.

We will only be removing and replacing those trees that are dead, dying (with a useful life expectancy of less than two years) or dangerous (they pose a risk to the community in the short term).

Street Tree Assessments

Our arborists have completed individual tree assessments based on the above criteria and in Golf Links Avenue, we are proposing to remove 3 trees and will be planting a total of 4 trees which includes an additional 1 tree in a vacant location.

Replacement Tree Species

We will be replacing the trees at these locations with Acer platanoides (Norway Maple).

A proposed street tree renewal plan including all proposed tree removals, replacements and species choices has been drafted for Golf Links Avenue:
