Retainable Trees and the proposed development ,
Given the impacts on root distribution for Trees No 57 and 70, and the lack of further

impacts from the proposed development and its underground carpark, both trees

maybe retained with minimum effort and no major affects on health and structure (if

properly protected prior, during and after development construction).

Tree No 48 will have impacts down to its critical root zone, but not within it, for an

area consisting of approximately 60° of its RPA circle. Given that this specics has a

good tolerance to root disturbance and that the remaining 300° of its RPA circle will

hot be impacted. on Within 7.2 metres of the trank (sce attached plan showing impact

area), reténtion is possible if j proper protection and remedial actions are undertaken

priof, during a and afiér development construction. Some minor disturbance will occur

between 7 & 7:2 metres from the trunk on the south and northwest comers where the : a"
underground carpark will be. nt

The deck and wall construction within the required tree protection fencing, as per
attached diagram that shows the location of TPF, should be constructed using pier and
beam methods. ‘he site arborist as per the tree protection and management plan of
