Manly Rd Greener Suburbs Project Update

I’m pleased to say that the first section of Council’s Greener Suburbs project has been completed on the corner of Manly Rd & Green Camp Rd and boy is it looking good!

In 2021, Council announced two Greener Suburbs projects along Manly Rd, the first at Green Camp Rd and the second at Hargreaves Rd.

The latter project, which is due to take place this year, aims to improve the clean, green feel of our suburbs through tree planting and landscaping.

Existing trees at the edge of Manly Rd/Hargreaves Rd are to be retained except for the small trees along the western verge of Hargreaves Rd (which are underperforming).

This will be replaced with new turf and a new extended garden bed with further trees.

Across Manly Rd on the south side, a tree grove will be planted that will compliment the bushland behind it.

If the tree grove doesn’t work with the hill, erosion control matting will be installed to ensure water runoff doesn’t slowly chip away at the hill.

I’m excited to see how the next project turns out as Council slowly but surely transforms our suburbs into beautiful areas!

If you have any intersections that you think could do with a bit of a spruce up, please let me know by chatting with me in the bottom right corner or by emailing my office.
