NOOSA COUNCIL NATURE STRIP PROJECT: PLANTING SHADE TREES TO OFFSET TRANSPORT EMISSIONS IN THE NOOSA SHIRE

This proposed project is for Noosa Council (Parks and Facilities) to undertake a tree-planting project to plant shade trees on nature strips throughout Noosa Shire. The project will aim to plant 1,000 trees in 2022. Trees will be at an advanced stage (approximately 1m in height) and meet Noosa Council Code in relation to species requirements. Trees will be staked and planted with root barriers to preserve and protect underground infrastructure. This project would then be continued so that a minimum of 1,000 trees are planted on nature strips each consecutive year.
