Greening Newcastle’s streets has never been more important as we face the
challenges of urban heat island effect, population growth and the impacts of
climate change. Street gardens are a simple yet powerful way to transform the
nature strip between your footpath and the road to bring climate, social, biodiversity and stormwater drainage benefits. So, who is eligible to plant one,
and what are the criteria? Find out with Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor Declan
Clausen and Environmental Education Officer Elise Budden how you can get
involved in City of Newcastle’s street garden program. Visit
