A tree replacement program at Lake Wendouree will commence in November this year.

The Lake Wendouree precinct is home to around 1,300 trees. Approximately 58 of these trees are between 50 and more than 100 years old and are nearing the end of their life.

Over the coming years, these trees will be replaced with three trees for every one removed.
