• To enhance the streetscape with street trees of appropriate scale and form.

• To respect established street tree character.• To reinforce the residential character through a mix of

deciduous and evergreen tree planting.

17.2 Precinct conditionsExisting street treesMature Fig and Brush Box tree planting located around the boundaries of Sydney University and Hospital grounds form a strong landscape character of evergreen rainforest species plantings. Tree planting on Parramatta Road is very limited due to awnings and over head power lines.

There are recent street plantings in the new residential development on the old Camperdown Children's Hospital site that are performing well and will be maintained.
