Residents are advised by letterbox drop, at least one week prior to planting, when the.street trees will be planted. They are also advised of the tree species which will be planted in their street. This advice is accompanied by general comments about street trees and the particular species. A contact telephone number is given in case a resident requires additional information. In addition, residents are asked for their help in assisting to maintain their street trees.

Individual street trees are selected in the context of an overall landscape masterplan for each suburb which is consistent with landscape policy for each town area. A number of factors are considered before determining which tree species are best suited to each area. These include things like local soil conditions, the width of the nature strip and solar access to allow for winter sunlight access to houses.
