Six streets will be transformed over the coming months as part of Mildura Rural City Council’s Cool It Street Program.
The program aims to create healthier and greener neighbourhoods, providing quality tree canopy cover by planting semi-mature trees in areas most in need.
The community was encouraged to nominate streets for consideration earlier this year, with 100 nominations received.
The following streets have been selected to receive new plantings under the initiative:
- Wade Avenue, Mildura
- Eaglesham Street, Mildura
- Eastside Drive, Mildura
- Ellswood Crescent, Mildura
- Hazeldene Street, Mildura
- Shiraz Court, Mildura
Council has begun contacting residents of successful streets to detail the next stage of the program, which includes an online vote based on a selection of suitable trees for each street.
Participating residents have been provided with a direct link to the online vote to have their say.
Plantings will take place between now and August 2023.
