2025 Parramatta Light Rail Tree Planting Program
The first tranche of this year’s Parramatta Light Rail Tree Planting Program focuses on Carlingford and Telopea. In early March, planting will begin on the eastern side of the Active Transport Link, alongside the Light Rail.
In partnership with Transport for NSW, City of Parramatta will be planting around 80 advanced trees and more than 29,000 native shrubs.
The planned planting has considered local conditions including residents’ requests for privacy and existing tree types.
Council’s arborists have focussed on natives which will suit the location. Trees that grow to a shorter height when mature have been selected for locations under overhead powerlines, and more shallow rooted trees have been chosen for areas where there are underground utilities.
Planting is expected to continue until June.
The joint Parramatta Light Rail Tree Planting Program is one of a number of programs that aim to increase tree canopy and green cover across the Parramatta area.
