Mildura Rural City Council is seeking feedback on our Draft Urban Forest Strategy.
The Strategy aims to increase the overall tree cover in our urban areas to 30 per cent by 2040, while developing partnerships with landowners and businesses to green the public realm and reduce the heat bank effect.
Increasing tree canopy in our local parks, streets and neighbourhoods will provide much needed shade and shelter from heat, improve our air and water quality, improve health and wellbeing, and build our resilience to climate change.
Our Strategic Planning will be available on the following dates to discuss the Urban Forest Strategy and collect feedback.
Those interested can also share their thoughts at yoursay.mildura.vic.gov.au/UFS before 19 April 2024.
