Soft Landscaping TTG Township

TTG Township

  • Trees and plantings make a significant contribution to the public realm through providing visual amenity, shade for pedestrians and character to identify an area.
  • The preferred strategy is to maximise opportunities for planting new street trees and low-level landscaping and replace non-performing or dying specimens.
  • Soft landscaping should work in harmony with other elements of the streetscape, such as street furniture, lighting and hard landscaping, to create a cohesive, integrated public space.
  • Ensure existing tree species and significant trees are identified when looking at soft landscaping plantings.
  • Avoid clutter.
