Consultation Information

What we asked

As part of Council’s commitment to making Adelaide a greener and more sustainable capital city, we asked the community if they supported the proposal to increase greening across the city in streets that have little to no vegetation. The community was asked to provide feedback on the below proposed planting:

  • Five (5) new trees in Ada Street
  • Three (3) new Irrigated Grass in Brougham Place
  • Four (4) new Planter Box trees in Cairns Street
  • Two (2) new trees in Charlotte Place
  • Five (5) new Planter Box trees in Gray Street
  • Five (5) new trees and One (1) Water Sensitive Urban Design Greening area in Hamilton Place
  • Two (2) new Planter Box trees in Tapley Street
  • One (1) new tree in Walter Street
  • Two (2) new trees and One (1) Planter Box tree in Wyatt Street (north)
  • Six (6) new trees and One (1) Water Sensitive Urban Design Garden Bed in Wyatt Street (south)

As a result of the new tree planting, 1 timed car parking space would be affected (Carins Street). The intent is to utilise the space which are considered no stopping zones. All loading zones and motorcycle parking was to remain unchanged.

The final location of the trees was to be subject to the location of existing underground services.
