The site itself maybe used to establish medium sized trees (up to 20 metres height)

that compliment the building and the strect, using structural cells and water catchment #
techniques and designs. For the street trees correct planting spaces in conjunction :
with structural cells and water catchment techniques would significantly improve the

strect tree establishment, growth, longevity and the minimisation of future

maintenance.

Recommendation is made that all cxisting trees are removed due to the inability to
successfully retain them in a condition that would have a long useful life expectancy
or viability.

Reeommicndation is made that the current design with its open spaces between
planter boxes at the podium level is used. At a minimum this would require ongoing
supervision and contro} by an experienced arborist to establish the trees with
minimum conflict between the canopy and planter boxes on either side where
applicable.

Recommendation is made that the engineer, landscape architect and arborist create a
design based on the methods of structural cells, water collection designs, and
optimum planting spaces so as to provide.the Best conditions for new tree plantings
and their future growth on the Hastings Street ‘frontage.
