Bungendore tree planting works: Staff have been working on Gibraltar Street in Bungendore preparing for the replacement of trees in the centre median strip. The existing trees are performing poorly and haven’t provided the expected shade or avenue that is desired. These are being replaced with Cimmaron Ash trees. Tree planting will also be undertaken on street verges on Molonglo Street, Ellendon Street, Gibraltar Street and Malbon Street. In total 105 trees will be planted on nature strips, including Red Oak, Chinese Pistachio, Claret Ash, and Crab Apple.
