River Red Gum Tree Protection Policy

River Red Gum trees are an important part of our local landscape, and have significant heritage and environmental values.

Many of these trees are estimated at being between 200 to 500 years old and provide shelter and food for a range of native animals.

Our River Red Gum Protection Policy forms part of the Whittlesea Planning Scheme - Local Planning Policy Framework.

Refer to Clause 12.01-1L of the Whittlesea Planning Scheme.
