Jury comment

This urban tree cover study is a modern-day call to action, a practical guide to combating climate change. The City of Gold Coast and the project consultants have created an accessible and well-written plan. Outlining the current tree canopy in the Gold

Coast, it delivers practical metrics and methods for maintaining and improving the urban tree canopy and reducing urban heat island effects for the future of the region.
