Alice Springs Town Council Greening Strategy
Alice Springs Town Council is currently in the process of working with consultants O2LA, to produce the Alice Springs Greening Strategy and Action Plan. We’ve heard your calls for a green town with shaded areas for walking, playing and socialising. We’re working on a plan, so come have your say and be part of greening Alice Springs.
The Greening Strategy is a 25-year road map that aims to increase public canopy cover in Alice Springs from the current 15% to 25%. It identifies barriers and recommends solutions regarding governance, finance and technical considerations.
On 12 – 13 November 2023, the team held a series of Community Consultation information sessions to hear what you had to say. Based on this consultation, Council has produced a draft Greening Strategy plan — now we need your feedback before we get to work implementing the plan.
We’re seeking your feedback in this second round of Community Consultation.
