Sydney red gum planted for Queen's platinum jubilee

Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid joined community members and Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch at Woy Woy waterfront to unveil a plaque to celebrate the planting of a Sydney red gum recognising Queen Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee.

Members from the Peninsula Environment Group and Grow Urban Shade Trees secured $8380 through a Federal Government program for the commemoration.

Dr Reid said it was a privilege to be able to unveil the plaque and congratulate members of the two groups for undertaking the project.

"This was my first plaque unveiling since I was elected Member for Robertson and it was a privilege to do so in the year that Queen Elizabeth passed," he said.

"The tree and plaque look excellent gracing the foreshore of Woy Woy waterfront and will bring much benefit to the community, who come to play, exercise, or simply enjoy a walk along the foreshore."

Grow Urban Shade Tree project co-ordinator Ms Lesley Harvey said: "This new angophora costata or Sydney red gum is a long-lived tree to add shade and amenity for the residents of the Peninsula for many years to come.

"Peninsula residents would be familiar with GUST's verge trees planted in boxes.

"Now on the beautiful Woy Woy foreshore, here is the Queen's tree in a sandstone box."

Ms Harvey said residents should come by and enjoy the tree adjacent to the Woy Woy war memorial on Brick Wharf Rd."
