Community Planting Week

Our Community Planting Week returned this May. Our activities help make our green spaces healthier and more attractive to local wildlife.  

Enhancing outdoor spaces to make them healthier and more attractive to local wildlife is a priority for us — and a joint effort with our community.  

At our community planting day, you helped plant 2,045 plants at King George VI Memorial Reserve, East Boundary Road, Bentleigh East

We gave away 1,470 plants to residents helping to strengthen biodiversity in your local neighbourhood.

These events show how easy and enjoyable it is to enhance our outdoor spaces by planting indigenous species that support local biodiversity — and have a big effect on environmental health.  

This initiative is one part of ourUrban Forest Strategy, which guides the way we plan and maintain our urban forest — the sum of all trees, understorey, shrubs, ground covers and grasses across Glen Eira, on both public and private land. 

It’s also an important part of our annual Tree Planting Program, which supports us to reach our ambitious target of 22.5 per cent canopy cover over the entire municipality by 2040.
