Help us to green Mayfield!

In November 2023, the City of Launceston endorsed its first Urban Greening Strategy. The Urban Greening Strategy aims to deliver a strategic greening approach that includes trees, shrubs, grasslands, structures (such as green roofs, walls and arbours) and other vegetation on public and private land.

As part of the Urban Greening Strategy, we are developing precinct plans for priority suburbs and Mayfield has been selected as the first of the precinct plans.

The precinct plans will focus on creating green and shaded streets with a particular focus around schools, bus stops and active transport routes, as well as new planting in parks and reserves.

These plans will help us to prioritise streets to be planted, and establish targets for each year. They outline what trees will be planted where, when and why over a period of five (5) years.

Check out the proposed priority order of street tree planting for Mayfield below.

During April and May 2024, we will be engaging with the Mayfield community to guide the development of the plans.

The Mayfield community are invited to share their ideas at our drop-in information session to be held at the Muylatina Child and Family Learning Centre, Mayfield. See details under the key dates section on the right of the screen.

This is an exciting opportunity to have your say on the future of street trees and planting within your neighbourhood.

Once the precinct plans are complete, we will begin planting trees within Mayfield.

Streets have been identified in order of priority based on a number of factors, including their proximity to schools, bus stops and linking public places.

We will also be planting new trees, garden beds and shrubs in Mayfield parks, starting with Torrens Street Park.
