Project Information
This project is being undertaken to increase greening across the city in streets that have little to no vegetation. Trees will assist in providing shade in summer and improving the overall amenity in the street.
Update
City of Adelaide have engaged a Contractor to complete the Greening Works, the Contractor commenced works starting at Brougham Place. Due to the sequencing of these works, City of Adelaide are anticipating having all greening works completed In May 2024. The installation of Greening will be the last activity completed by the Contractor, once all the tree pits and garden beds have been installed.
The table below provides an overview of when the Contractor is proposing to start and complete the greening works within each street:
| Street | Works Commence | Anticipated Completion |
| Brougham Place | Commenced | Complete |
| Walter Street | May | May |
| Cairns Street | Commenced | Complete |
| Gray Street | Commenced | Complete |
| Hamilton Place | Commenced | May |
| Wyatt St | May | May |
| Ada Street | Commenced | May |

Consultation Information
What we asked
As part of Council’s commitment to making Adelaide a greener and more sustainable capital city, we asked the community if they supported the proposal to increase greening across the city in streets that have little to no vegetation. The community was asked to provide feedback on the below proposed planting:
- Five (5) new trees in Ada Street
- Three (3) new Irrigated Grass in Brougham Place
- Four (4) new Planter Box trees in Cairns Street
- Two (2) new trees in Charlotte Place
- Five (5) new Planter Box trees in Gray Street
- Five (5) new trees and One (1) Water Sensitive Urban Design Greening area in Hamilton Place
- Two (2) new Planter Box trees in Tapley Street
- One (1) new tree in Walter Street
- Two (2) new trees and One (1) Planter Box tree in Wyatt Street (north)
- Six (6) new trees and One (1) Water Sensitive Urban Design Garden Bed in Wyatt Street (south)
As a result of the new tree planting, 1 timed car parking space would be affected (Carins Street) and 1 paid parking space will be removed (Wyatt Street). The intent is to utilise the space which are considered no stopping zones. All loading zones and motorcycle parking was to remain unchanged.
The final location of the trees was to be subject to the location of existing underground services.

The majority of responses were in favour of the increased greening in the proposed streets. In response to feedback we received, information regarding planting in four of the streets is below.
Street | Additional Information |
Ada Street | City of Adelaide propose to install an additional tree along this street. The Design Team have checked the existing services locations and traffic impacts. |
Brougham Place | This project is being funded by a Local Road and Community Infrastructure Grant. We will deliver verges as proposed, and new flagstone pavers matching already installed pavers west of this section. |
Charlotte Place | Following a site meeting with the residents along this street, we will incorporate understory planting to existing trees installed along this street. Residents are also working with the City of Adelaide to submit a Nature Strip Application to seek more greening along the street. |
Tapley Street | We have taken on board the feedback received and reduced the amount of planter boxes from 4 to 2. Businesses along this street have been supportive of this change. |
