Canberra Field Tour: A 10-Year Greening Review
Description
A Real-World Performance Review of Urban Tree & Stormwater Systems
Join Citygreen for an exclusive half-day bus tour across Canberra, designed for engineers, landscape architects, and government professionals shaping the future of urban environments.
This is not a typical project tour. It’s a curated, on-the-ground performance review of urban tree and stormwater systems delivered over the past 10+ years, offering a rare opportunity to see what has actually worked, what hasn’t, and why.
Across 4 key sites, you’ll hear directly from those involved in design, delivery, and maintenance, gaining practical insights you can apply immediately to current and upcoming projects.
What makes this event different:
Real projects, real outcomes, and not theory
Honest insights into system performance over time
A clear lens on how to de-risk design decisions early
Direct access to multidisciplinary perspectives in the field
What to expect:
Guided visits to 4 urban tree and stormwater sites
Practical lessons from real-world performance
Conversations with engineers, landscape architects, and local government
Networking drinks to wrap up the afternoon

Lineup
Amaroo Group Centre
Gungahlin, ACT · 10+ year review One of the tour's most mature sites. Stratavault installed soil cells to support healthy trees in a busy retail precinct. A decade on, the canopy speaks for itself. The long-view proof of what the system delivers over time
Jamison Car Park
Macquarie, ACT · car-park canopy Trees thriving in a trafficked car park hardscape, grown in Stratavault, prove the system carries vehicle loads while trees flourish above. A strong TCCS + ANU dimension to the story.
Constitution Avenue
Civic, Canberra CBD · premier boulevard Canberra’s premier address. Avenues of English Oak (Quercus Robur) planted in Stratavault turned a dusty, car-dominated strip into a comfortable, shaded plaza, with trees cutting ground temperature by up to 10°C. Landscape architecture by Jane Irwin; built by Able Landscapes.
Canberra Light Rail - Stage 2
London Circuit / Alinga St · live build The counterpoint to the mature sites: a project being delivered right now. Watch Stratavault go in on a city-shaping transit corridor the 'before’ to everything else’s 'after'.
