RFI - Attachment 3 - Arborcultural Impact Assessment Report · 132003.221108.3

10.1.1 General Tree Protection Measures
The following protection measures and low impact methodologies have been provided to ensure the subject tree is not impacted during excavations.

Appoint a Project Arborist (PA)
The PA should hold an AQF5 in Arboriculture and have at least 5 years’ consultancy experience. The role of the PA is to provide guidance and
clarification on the tree protection methods outlined in this report. Additionally, the PA is to be available to provide feedback and ongoing assessments
of the tree and its protection measures throughout and following the development of the site, when necessary.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) fencing
A temporary TPZ fence is to be installed to protect as much of the calculated TPZ as practical. The TPZ fence should meet the following criteria:
- The fence should be installed as soon as practical.
- The fence can be comprised of safety mesh or similar.
- No materials should be stored within the fenced off area.
- The fence should not be removed until the development has concluded.
- The fence should be clearly signed ‘Tree Protection Zone – No Access’.

Tree Root Pruning
Any root pruning required should be completed with a sharp hand tool. The cuts should be made at a right angle to the root so as to reduce wound size.
No wound dressing is needed. No roots larger than 30mm in diameter should be cut without prior consent from the PA.

Working in the calculated TPZ of the subject trees
Non-Destructive Excavation (NDE) is required within the calculated TPZ of the subject tree. NDE is required within proximity of Tree 1 for the
installation of the neighbouring underground services. NDE is required to remove the soil and other material so as to expose any tree roots that may be
present in the proposed location. The materials are to be installed with the intent of retaining as many tree roots as practical. The PA is to be present
during the excavation to provide guidance on root management and root pruning, if necessary.

Project Arborist Certification
The PA is to assess the trees once the development has been completed. The purpose of this assessment will be to ensure the tree has not been
negatively impacted or damaged throughout the development. Health remediation may be recommended at this point in time if the tree shows any signs
of decline or damage.
