I was thrilled to see six good sized Queensland Brushbox trees planted along the west side of Livingstone Road near Marrickville Park. Not only will these trees improve the streetscape, but they will also visually lead the eye to the park. Big canopy street trees is totally appropriate for this wide road.
I was also pleased to see that Council did not remove the red flowering gum trees planted along here. Although these trees could be deemed a failure because they range from around 1-metre to 1.8-metres tall after 5-years of growth, they still flower every year & provide food for wildlife.
