                    Melbourne is known as a wonderful place to live, and the city’s parks, gardens and expansive urban forest play a key role in achieving this liveability.

                    In addition to environmental benefits, green spaces create a welcoming city for residents, workers and visitors to our city.

                    Importantly, green infrastructure also supports a thriving economy in a range of ways, such as boosting pedestrian traffic, improving productivity and increasing tourism.

                    The City of Melbourne has a range of programs delivering greening in the city, but we can do so much more if we partner with others.

                    We’re seeking corporate organisations, charities and NGOs to help us deliver a great green legacy for Melbourne.

                    What do contributions to the Urban Forest Fund go towards?

                    The Urban Forest Fund sets out to accelerate greening across the city, by funding greening projects that otherwise would not go ahead. These projects might be on public or private land, and could include:

                    • tree planting
                    • green roofs, walls and facades
                    • creation of new green spaces including pocket parks and temporary parks
                    • vegetation cover to increase biodiversity
                    • water sensitive urban design
                    • improvements to below-ground soil conditions to support healthy vegetation.

                    An independent community panel will assess suitable projects to be funded by the Urban Forest Fund.
