An elected Liberal Government will contribute $125,000 towards the completion of the Glen Huntly Road Green Space project.

Liberal candidate for Goldstein, Tim Wilson, has secured this commitment to ensure that Glen Huntly has an adequate urban tree canopy, improving our pedestrian comfort, and reducing the heat island effect during the summer months.

The Glen Huntly Road Green Space project will enhance the streetscape with new trees, shrubs, and updated street furniture, creating a more liveable, comfortable, and sustainable urban environment. The project aligns with the Glen Eira City Council’s commitment to climate resilience and urban revitalisation.

“Glen Huntly is a beautiful suburb to work and live in. By greening Glen Huntly Road, we can improve our local community by reducing the heat island effect and enhancing appeal”, Mr Wilson said.

Liberal candidate for Macnamara, Benson Saulo, said “The added green space will provide excellent carbon capture, and reduce the heat island effect, making Glen Huntly more liveable."

Shadow Minister for the Environment, Senator Jonathon Duniam, highlighted the project’s importance to the local community.

“Tree cover in urban communities like Glen Huntly is incredibly important and will make a huge difference in making this area even better than it already is.” Senator Duniam said.

Mayor of Glen Eira City Council, Cr Simone Zmood said: "This is a big step towards making Glen Huntly Road more liveable, and a vibrant and greener hub."

This commitment is part of the Liberals’ plan to strengthen local communities and get Australia back on track.
