    Proposed tree replacement program - community poll

    Council is currently seeking community feedback on replacement tree species for the High Street component of Koroit Township Renewal Stage 3.

    The current planting of Metrosideros excelsa (New Zealand Christmas Trees) - between Commercial Road and the Mill Street area on both sides of the road will be removed. No other tree species will be removed as part of the works. The New Zealand Christmas Trees are being removed due to the following factors:

    • Construction requirements for upgrades to the drainage network and road works
    • The age and condition of these trees with a number showing senescence - ageing of the tree with a decline in function and vitality.
    • Impacts of the current root system on the drainage network and road condition both current and future.
    • Height of the trees that will require significant lopping to meet safety requirements associated with overhead powerlines.


    Replacement trees will be planted within the same locality of the current trees and formalised garden areas will be retained. Planned tree removal will occur late October.

    Council is proposing to plant one of the following species to maintain the current avenue presentation and is seeking resident feedback on a preferred species. Replacement tree work will include the installation of root barrier and irrigation.

    • Cercis chinensis - Chinese Redbud - Faerie Queen
    • Acer palmatum - Japanese Maple
    • Eucalyptus lansdowneana ssp albopurpurea - Purple Patch
    • Lagerstroemia indica - Crepe myrtle


    More details on the proposed species are provided in the 'Proposed tree species summary September 2025' in the High Street works section.

    You can vote for your preferred species by either:


    Voting will close on 10am, Monday 13 October. Results will be published online.
