The City of West Torrens is currently providing a Significant and Regulated Tree Assistance Rebate until 30 June 2025 to provide financial assistance for property owners/rate payers to take action that helps maintain their Significant/ Regulated tree.

Some of these trees may be remnants of the native vegetation that once grew here, or plantings by the early European settlers, that perform a commemorative purpose dedicated to important people or to mark significant events in history. This rebate program encourages the community to retain and maintain these important trees to safeguard the ecological, societal, historic and aesthetic appeal they provide.

Applications will be processed on a first come, first serve basis until all funding is exhausted. Funding is subject to Council's annual budget processes and accordingly the funding is limited.
