Upfold Street (even), 5 & 7 Braye Street, 7a Watson Street & 48 Rawson Street

Using our Street Tree Selection Matrix we narrow the suitable species down to two options suited for each site.

The species available are shown below. 

We will do our best to provide you with your selected species. Due to weather events or stock availability, we sometimes have difficulty sourcing certain species. For example, in March 2025, Cyclone Alfred damaged many trees we were sourcing from Queensland nurseries. Unfortunately, this means we cannot guarantee your selected species will be available at the time of planting. In this case, you'll receive Option 2. Thanks for your understanding.
