Kings Square Update
TREE RELOCATIONSPHASE 2
After the successful relocation of five London Plane trees in May, the
City of Fremantle will be relocating an additional three trees in July.
Fremantle Council approved a public realm concept design for Kings Square in February 2018.
A key component of this was retaining as many trees as possible, as well as planting more trees, to provide shade, colour and character to the area.
Approximately two-thirds of the trees in Kings Square have been retained, with the City of Fremantle planting two new trees for every one that had to be removed.
The entire Kings Square precinct will feature a total of 67 trees once the project is complete. KINGS SQUARE TREE New medium size tree – light foliage & flower (28)
LANDMARK TREE Existing Canary Island date palm (12)
STREET TREE Existing & proposed London Planes (23)
HERITAGE TREES Existing Moreton Bay figs
