Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page Print this page

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

Boroondara City Council received funding of $4,796 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant trees at the Kings Street Chain Reserves, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will enhance the tree canopy 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.
 

On Tuesday this week Cr Jane Addis, Mayor of Boroondara, Cr Felicity Sinfield and Dr Monique Ryan, Member for Kooyong, planted a tree at Naroo Street Reserve in Balwyn in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. This project was jointly funded by Boroondara and the Federal Government’s Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee Program.Today we join the rest of Australia for a day of mourning to honour Her Majesty.
