Tree protection and retention

With the need to increase tree canopy cover in urban areas and given the benefits that mature trees provide, it is vital that priority is given to retain healthy, mature trees on development sites. This section will include legal tree protection as well as the social, environmental, economic, planning and placemaking benefits of protecting and retaining trees.
