As part of Council’s Urban Tree Strategy, a limited number of tree subsidy vouchers are available to help encourage residents to purchase a tree to plant in their yard. By purchasing a $15 ticket, residents will receive a tree voucher valued up to $55.

Mayor Glenn Docherty said more trees on private land in Playford is one initiative under Council’s Urban Tree Strategy, which aims to increase citywide canopy.

“Expanding our tree canopy is a collaborative goal between Council and our community,” said Mayor Docherty.

“It’s wonderful to offer locals the opportunity to plant their own corner of Playford, knowing that trees not only beautify—but also support our environment and wellbeing.”

Vouchers can be redeemed for select shade trees at either Bunnings, Munno Para West or Provenance Indigenous Plants, Salisbury Park.

“We always have a great response to this program, with vouchers going so quick, so we’re very excited to offer it once again,” the Mayor said.

Vouchers will be released for sale at 10:00 am on Monday 1 September. They can be purchased online through Eventbrite or in-person from the customer service desk at the Playford Civic Centre at 10 Playford Blvd, Elizabeth.

When purchasing online, a physical voucher will be mailed to your provided address in the weeks after purchase. All vouchers are valid until 31 December 2025.
