Roundabouts can be beautiful

I love this roundabout at the corner of Esplanade East and Bridge St, Port Melbourne. The trunks of the trees pick up a pinkish tinge at sunset.

Combining two great interests: casaurinas and water sensitive urban design

I love this stand of casaurina trees in a carpark in Frankston - a fine demonstration of water sensitive urban design [wsud] This approach treats stormwater runoff before it makes its way to Port Phillip Bay.

Members of the Tree Reference Group at the City of Port Phillip said they would like to see more examples of different configurations of trees, rather than a 'staple gun' approach, and I thought this was a great example.

Trees for narrow streets

A member of the City of Port Phillip's tree reference group offered these images to the group for ideas about introducing trees into narrow streets.
