                 8 T REE P ROTECTION G UIDELINES
                 For the proposed retention of the trees onsite, the following guidelines are recommended to
                 be implemented to minimise the impact of the project works. The protection recommendations
                 offered are guided by, AS4790 – 2009 Protection of trees on development sites, industry best
                 practice and the supervising presence of a suitably qualified and experienced Arborist with a
                 high level of experience as an onsite Project Arborist.

                 The information within these Guidelines is generic for practical use with common sense and
                 discretion.

                 The successful retention of the trees will be bettered by the education and cooperation of all
                 parties of the construction team during the build and the presence of the Project Arborist on
                 site to assist and advise during the construction phase for all works carried out adjacent the
                 Veg Exclusion Flagging of protected trees.

                 ALL workers on the site are to be made aware of the Tree Protection Guidelines and any site-
                 specific measures by the main contractor prior to commencing works.

                 8.1 T HE R OLE OF THE P ROJECT A RBORIST AND T REE P ROTECTION
                 An Arboricultural Assessment undertaken by the Project Arborist will outline the trees that
                 require consideration. The information within these Tree Protection Guidelines should be read
                 in conjunction with guidelines laid out in the Australian Standard, AS4970–2009 Protection of
                 Trees on Development Sites and ongoing advice from the Project Arborist.

                 A designated onsite foreman/supervisor from the construction company is to liaise with the
                 Project Arborist to ensure that Tree Protection is adhered to in their absence from the site.

                 A Post Construction Arborist Report can be prepared by the Project Arborist on request for
                 the retained tree comprising a Visual Tree Assessment detailing each of the trees’ condition
                 and vigour, damage or disturbance which may have occurred, and remedial works are
                 undertaken.

                 After the final inspection, a Certification of Compliance can be supplied along with any
                 monitoring documentation as required.

                 The Project Arborist may at any time implement new or additional procedures as may be
                 required for the site in the best interest of the trees and the development as a whole.
