Project Information

The City of Adelaide is drafting an Urban Greening Strategy to help guide our priorities for greening into the future. The City of Adelaide is committed to protecting and improving our natural environment. Our Urban Greening Strategy is designed to set out our goals and ensure our ongoing efforts contribute to the thriving of the natural surroundings.


Project Update

During the consultation period we gathered ideas, comments, and feedback from the community about greening in the City and shaping future planning, growth, and expansion of nature in response to a changing climate.  Feedback received will support the development of our Urban Greening Strategy.

We asked the community to share their thoughts on various aspects of urban greening, including:

  • New ideas about where and what types of green infrastructure we can consider when planning for more greening.
  • Common threads and themes which help us to understand community sentiment regarding trees, greening and nature.
  • Priorities for managing the green infrastructure across our City.

The engagement was structured into three sections:

  • Questionnaires: to understand the value that community perceives from greening
  • Ideas: gather ideas on the types of greening 
  • Maps: understand the priority location of greening from the community


What happens next?

Community feedback/submissions will be workshopped internally as the Urban Greening Strategy is drafted. A final draft will be released for community consultation in 2024.

Let's get creative for a Greener City

We're looking for ideas on where we can make our spaces even greener. 

Place a pin on the map and let us know:

1. Most of the canopy in our city is within the Park Lands. Where should we focus on planting more trees?

2. Roof top terrace gardens, laneways with arbours and green walls all contribute to urban greening. Where can we fit more greening in places where none exists?

3. Where your favourite outdoor spots are to catch up with friends and enjoy Adelaide’s lifestyle?

Share your ideas for a greener City of Adelaide

We invite you to share your ideas.  What trees do you admire and think there should be more of? What other types of green infrastructure do you think we could try in the City of Adelaide? Tell us how you unwind in your garden, pick herbs from your balcony patch or head to the local park with friends? You can use words, an image or both.

East-West version of Frome St

Frome St is amazing - it is such a well thought out street for urban greening and cycling infrastructure. It would be fantastic to have an East-West corridor with the same plant/tree median strips to separate the bike lanes from car traffic. Some city streets are a bit wider with existing, wide bike lanes (Halifax, Wakefield, maybe there are others that are a better fit without bus routes). A median strip could fit if street parking was reduced (I know, probably unpopular, but how effective is…
