Tree inspection program

We responded to an inquiry from the Geelong Advertiser regarding our tree inspection program, and how residents can get involved in protecting our natural assets.

Greater Geelong Acting Director City Services Debbie Leeson-Rabie

Every tree on public land within the municipality is inspected by a qualified arborist during a three-year program. Some trees, such as those near powerlines, on rural roads and palm trees, are inspected annually. Our tree management team also quickly responds to public requests for an inspection of a tree in our streets or parks.

We run a number of community engagement programs that support the region's natural environment. We are continually exploring ideas about how to engage more members of the community who are passionate about protecting and enhancing our rapidly growing urban forest.
