Under this annual initiative, households can collect up to three free trees or shrubs to plant on their own properties — a simple but impactful way to boost our city’s canopy, support native wildlife habitats and help cool neighbourhoods as climate pressures increase. The program runs from January through June 2026, with a series of collection dates across the City’s suburbs. For ratepayers looking to take part from February to March, trees will be available at locations including Coomera (5 Feb), Maudsland (12 Feb), Robina (19 Feb) and Mermaid Waters (26 Feb), followed by Mudgeeraba (5 Mar), Oxenford (12 Mar), Runaway Bay (19 Mar) and Burleigh Heads (26 Mar). This giveaway is more than a freebie — it’s an invitation for residents to take ownership of urban greening. By placing trees where they live, people contribute directly to cleaner air, greater shade and a greener City of Gold Coast.
