      Arboriculture or ISA certification and a minimum of three years’ field experience) must be
      contracted to prepare a Tree Management and Protection plan and shall:
      a.     oversee installation of a hard temporary protection zone prior to commencement of
             works with ‘no go’ signage in accordance with AS 4970-2009. All site workers must be
             inducted in relation to the tree protection;
      b.     supervise any works within the temporary protection zone;
      c.     undertake hazard reduction and formative pruning as necessary; &
      d.     provide certification that the trees were protected in accordance with the Arborist’s
             recommendations.
      The Tree Management and Protection Plan Shall be presented prior to or at the pre-start
      meeting for the site.
      The Arborist shall monitor the health and structural integrity of the trees to be retained at least
      monthly during the construction period and quarterly for 12 months after construction is
      completed. The developer shall rectify any decline in the health or structural integrity of the
      trees, in accordance with the Arborist’s recommendations.

      from the site:-
      a.     Re-use for building materials.
      b.     Processing through a woodchipper or shredder. The resulting mulch is to be stockpiled
             loose in heaps of less than 1000 cubic metres, less than 2.5 metres high with a
             minimum of 10 metres between edges of heaps.
      c.     Disposal for firewood.
      d.     Disposal for landscaping purposes.
      e.     Transport to alternative site for breaking down materials provided that all necessary
             permits have been obtained to allow the alternate site to be used for this purpose.
