URBAN FOREST FOR BAYSIDE?
■ Bayside Councillors were due to consider an ‘Urban Forest’ proposal for the municipality last night (Tues.), as this edition of The Local Paper went to press. Precinct Plans provide detailed guidance on how urban forest outcomes will be delivered ‘on ground’ across Bayside’s suburbs in response to individual suburb needs and characteristics. The draft precinct plans
have identified areas of greatest need, including: ■ areas with the lowest existing percentage canopy tree cover, for increased planting ■ areas that are strategically located to mitigate Urban Heat Island effects for residents ■ locations of trees coming to the end of their useful life expectancy ■ areas where vegetation planting can be implemented or improved to link areas of
open space and provide habitat corridors ■ areas with highly trafficked pedestrian routes ■ areas with gaps/vacancies in public planting in the suburb. Community engagement on the draft Precinct Plans is proposed to commence in September. Councillors are likely to consider a report for adoption of the draft Urban Forest Precinct Plans by February.
