Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page Print this page

The trees commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and acknowledges her 70 years of service as Australia`s Head of State. 

The project received funding of $20,000 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant an avenue of native trees, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will enhance the habitat of native fauna and beautify the local environment.

Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history.  

An avenue of ornamental trees such as crepe myrtles are to be sown by spring at Dubbo's Macquarie Home Stay landscaped garden and at Dubbo South Public School to commemorate for all time the reign of Queen Elizabeth ll. The trees at the school replace those that were destroyed by fire.
