Tree Protection Zone (TPZ)
A TPZ is determined by setbacks calculated for each tree based on its age class, vigour class and crown spread (where
necessary) and each tree fenced off to form an enclosure around the tree with the tree at its centre, or may utilise an existing
structure being retained such as a wall of fence.
The TPZ should be secured by a lockable gate to restrict access and the area identified with signage. The area of the TPZ
should be mulched except where turfed and kept free of weeds. Where encroachment is required within the TPZ this should
be done only with the approval of the project arborist.

Signage
Signs identifying the TPZ should be placed around the edge of the TPZ and be visible from within the development site. The
lettering on the sign should comply with AS 1319.
Indicative Protective Fencing
LEGEND:
1 Chain wire mesh panels with shade cloth (if
required) attached, held in place with
concrete feet.
2 Alternative plywood or wooden paling
fence panels. This fencing material also
prevents building materials or soil from
entering the TPZ.
3 Mulch installation across surface of TPZ (at
the discretion of the project arborist). No
excavation, construction activity, grade
changes, surface treatment or storage of
materials of any kind is permitted within the
TPZ.
4 Bracing is permissible within the TPZ.
Installation of supports should avoid
damaging roots.
