The project will significantly advance social and environmental understanding of the patterns, causes and consequences of changes in the Australian urban tree estate, therefore having immediate relevance to the home-environment of the majority of Australians. This knowledge will be of direct benefit to researchers, planners, land managers and residents in improving the sustainability of Australian cities. In particular, better informed decisions about the urban tree estate will help to maintain Australia's biodiversity, mitigate local and global climate change effects, manage fire risk, contribute to water conservation, improve air quality, enhance environmental amenity, reduce tree-related social conflict and enhance sense of place.

该项目将大大促进社会和环境对澳大利亚城市树木园变化的模式、原因和后果的理解，因此与大多数澳大利亚人的家庭环境直接相关。这些知识将直接有益于研究人员、规划人员、土地管理人员和居民，以提高澳大利亚城市的可持续性。特别是，关于城市树木庄园的更明智的决定将有助于保持澳大利亚的生物多样性，减轻当地和全球气候变化的影响，管理火灾风险，促进水资源保护，改善空气质量，提高环境舒适度，减少与树木有关的社会冲突，并增强地方感。
