Wider footpath gardens with improved soil will also be installed as part of the project.

Greening Waterloo
The inner-city suburb will be enveloped by a lush canopy of new trees following overwhelming support by residents.
Danks Street
We’re replacing poorly performing trees from Danks, Crystal and Potter streets and Gadigal Avenue with 97 new trees.
Gadigal Avenue
Part of our commitment to increase tree canopy by 50% by 2030, the new trees will provide cooling shade to residents, similar to streets in Redfern.
Potter and Bourke streets
Following community consultation, and design and feasibility studies, the project began in May 2020.
Potter and Crystal streets
Our arborist assessed existing trees and recommended new species to increase canopies in Waterloo by 50% once they reach maturity. The species include brush box, spotted gums, lilly pilly and Chinese elm.
