Why are we doing this?
The Greening Port Phillip program brings new street tree planting and biodiversity improvements to selected streets. The program adds canopy, enhances habitat and creates cooler, greener and more liveable neighbourhoods under the Urban Forest Strategy.
Project update Fulton Street - Following strong community support, the Greening Fulton Street project will proceed to detailed design, with construction planned for the 2026–27 financial year.
Project update Raglan Street -The Greening Raglan Street project has been delayed following community feedback. Further planning will be undertaken for Raglan Street with the project likely to start in the 2027-28 Financial Year.
The impact
While works are underway, there will be some temporary impacts for residents and road users, including:
Reduced access in some areas while construction crews are working.
Partial road closures at times to ensure works can be completed safely.
Temporary loss of some on‑street parking spaces while new tree plots are installed.
Where parking or access is reduced, nearby alternatives will be available, and signage will be in place to help guide road users. We’ll work to minimise disruption wherever possible and keep impacts as short‑term as we can. Once complete, the project will deliver a greener and more attractive street by increasing the number and quality of street trees
Objectives
Increase tree canopy cover by planting new trees in improved growing conditions.
Cooler and greener city by increasing permeable surfaces
