Despite a well-recognised suite of benefits provided by urban trees on human and environmental health and well-being, climate change mitigation and adaptation, infrastructure lifetimes, and economic prosperity, a number of barriers to increasing tree canopy cover in urban areas still persist. Being able to measure and monitor changes (trends) in land cover, particularly canopy cover, within suburbs will be important for informing decision-making, assessing the success of greening objectives and activities, and prioritising the type and location of activities to best promote desired outcomes. Seed Consulting Services (Seed) was contracted by the City of Burnside (Council) to undertake an assessment of land cover within the City’s 28 suburbs using the i-Tree Canopy software. In addition, three suburbs were selected by Council to investigate historical land cover and assess trends in land cover change over time. With a focus on canopy cover and plantable space opportunities, the assessment aimed to establish canopy cover benchmarks which may be used to monitor future change over time and provide information to underpin decision-making regarding green infrastructure. Key findings from the assessment were: 10,780 points were assessed within the City of Burnside (385 points per suburb); 10 of the 14 land cover categories considered were identified occurring within the City; current land cover across the City is dominated by impervious surfaces, followed by canopy cover, plantable space, and other land covers (e.g. water) (see pie chart below) o the current estimated canopy cover of 31.28% across the city is slightly higher than the 30.2% reported in the National Benchmarking Report1 for the year 2013; just over 22% (~ 6km2) of the City area (public + private tenure) provides opportunities for planting additional trees (see pie chart below); land cover proportions amongst suburbs varied: o percent impervious cover is highest in Eastwood and lowest in Waterfall Gully; o percent tree/canopy cover is highest in Waterfall Gully and lowest in Glenside; o percent plantable space is highest in Leawood Gardens and lowest in Eastwood; in Burnside, Glenside and Magill impervious cover has increased
