Hampton East Urban Forest Precinct Plan
Hampton East’s urban forest
The draft Hampton East Precinct Plan aims to substantially increase tree and understorey plantings, transforming Hampton East into a biodiverse area featuring avenues of large canopy street trees.
Within the precinct plan we’ve identified:
- Ideal locations for priority planting
- plant species to enhance biodiversity and retain local character
- ways to support Hampton East residents to green their own spaces.
