Turn down the heat in summer: plant a tree!

Planting tree in back yard

The City of Unley has a target of 31% tree canopy cover by 2045 to help keep our City cooler and more liveable. We are working to continue to green our City but we need your help because 70% of the land in Unley is privately owned.

To show how your property contributes to tree canopy cover we are listing the percentage of cover for properties on the January 2025 rates notices*.

The average Tree Canopy Cover on private land in Unley is 20.99%. Is your tree canopy cover above or below average?

You can also visit the My Canopy website to view canopy cover in your neighbourhood.

If you do have space to plant a new tree and want to contribute to keeping Unley leafy for future generations, please refer to the factsheets and resources on our website about tree selection in the City of Unley.

*If a percentage is not shown on your rates notice, this is because we are unable to gather individual results for a small number of properties such as multi-unit apartments. Please visit the My Canopy website to view cover in your street.
