Newpark Tree Project
29 Oct 2026
More Shade. Cooler car park. Greener Newpark.
This November, Hawaiian’s Newpark will welcome nineteen new, mature trees across the car park, creating more shade, enhancing the customer experience and contributing to a greener, more welcoming environment.
The tree planting forms part of Hawaiian’s ongoing investment in Newpark and follows the recent delivery of Hawaiian’s Newpark Community Corner, a welcoming space designed to bring people together and strengthen local connections.
Delivered in partnership with The Forever Project, the initiative reflects a shared commitment to creating places that are not only functional, but also support wellbeing, sustainability and community life.
Once established, the new trees will help increase shade throughout the car park, improve comfort during the warmer months and contribute to the centre’s landscape for years to come.
Planting schedule (Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm)
Week | Dates | Zone | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 to 6 Nov | Red Zone | In front of the Dining Alfresco |

What to expect
- Works will be completed in stages, with one section of the car park impacted at a time to minimise disruption.
- Only a small number of parking bays will be temporarily closed each week while trees are planted.
- Temporary fencing and signage will be in place to safely guide customers to available parking.
- Some machinery will be used during works, and while there may be occasional noise, we’ll make every effort to keep disruption to a minimum.
- All parking bays will reopen once works in each area are complete.
- Centre access and trading will continue as normal throughout the project.
What you need to know
Will the centre stay open?
Yes. All retailers will remain open throughout the works, and the car park will continue to operate as normal. Temporary work zones will be managed to ensure customers can continue to access the centre safely and conveniently.
Will I still be able to park?
Yes. Only a minimal number of parking bays will be temporarily closed at any one time while works are underway. Bays will reopen once works in each area are complete.
Why are you planting trees?
The new trees will help create a cooler, greener and more comfortable environment by providing shade to vehicles and pedestrian areas, reducing heat during summer and enhancing the overall look and feel of the centre.
What trees are being planted?
Nineteen native trees will be planted, including Kurrajongs, Eucalypts and Paperbarks (Melaleucas). They are being planted at an advanced growth stage to help them establish quickly, build resilience and grow faster.
Will the trees drop leaves or bark onto my car?
Like all trees, there may be some natural leaf and bark drop from time to time. The species selected are well suited to the local environment and car park setting, with evergreen varieties chosen wherever possible.
Who is carrying out the work?
The project is being delivered by Bidi Facility Services, a Western Australian Indigenous-led business, in partnership with The Forever Project, which will provide ongoing care and watering for the trees during their first year of establishment.
