contacting the tree grate.

The one design and planting arca that shows some understanding of the
requirements for street tree planting is on cither side of a sitting arca (see
photo No 9). This area has a wide garden bed with adequate area for zone of
expansion and water penetration into the soil. One minor problem is that both
trees used in the area are being suppressed by surrounding trees, therefore
growth and canopy development will be a future problem (see Photo No 10).

Architectural Design Limitations

Assessment of the architect’s design for the podium Icvel shows that the
podium planting beam has been broken to allow ground Ievel trees space to
grow up and through. Also the tree planting areas have been expanded to
allow for the zone of expansion around the trunk base.

Council’s issue with palms is also limiting and outside of the subtropical
landscaping that is representative of Hastings Strect.
