As part of Council’s ongoing commitment to beautify, protect and enhance the local landscape, tree planting works will be undertaken along Whatton Place and Miller Street, Yea, on both sides of the road.

The planting has been designed to improve the local streetscape and provide additional shade for pedestrians using this area.

• Medium to large-sized trees with autumn colours

East (river) side – Chinese Pistachio

• Slow to moderate growth rate
• High tolerance to most growing conditions
• Small to medium-sized trees with green foliage and yellow, orange and red autumn tones
