03 May 2019Liverpool City Council is investigating which street trees provide the best respite from Western Sydney’s harsh summers.Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller said trees were an important part of cooling the city and reducing the urban heat island effect.“Areas of Liverpool have been identified as being part of the hottest 2.5 per cent of metropolitan Sydney and experience more than double the number of ‘hot days’ over 35 degrees than the metropolitan average,” Mayor Waller said.“I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of this research and, more importantly, how we use it to make Liverpool a better, cooler city.“Liverpool thrives on great ideas and original thinking.”Manager City Design and Public Domain David Petrie is conducting the study as part of a Master of Science at UTS and will use the results to plan a greener future for Liverpool’s CBD and suburbs.“I am measuring the cooling abilities of different tree species,” Mr Petrie said.“We know that street trees cool a city in summer, but we don’t know whether some species are better than others.“Through this experiment, we hope to find out if factors like leaf size and density make a difference to the temperature drop.
