Derby Jetty Walkway – Tree Planting Pilot

The Shire is launching a Tree Planting Pilot project along the Derby Jetty Walkway – an initiative aimed at making the space greener, cooler and more enjoyable for community.

The pilot is a small-scale, evidence-based initiative designed to assess performance of a range of plant species. The project will evaluate plant survival rates, maintenance requirements, and shading potential of coastal, salt-tolerant, heat-resilient species.

Commencing from April 2026, a selection of plant species will be planted in designated areas along the walkway. Throughout the duration of the pilot, the Shire will be actively monitoring and reviewing the progress. Insights gained from the pilot will be used to guide future planting initiatives throughout the community.
