                                         Proposed gate to be installed on
                                         property boundary




2      Provide justification as to the reason(s) that the 3 trees identified in the supporting
       material are required for removal instead of diverting/relocating the access track and
       proposed vehicle turnaround clear of existing trees.
nbn advises that the proposed access easement and track has been positioned as close as possible
to the shared boundary of the subject properties to minimise the impact of construction vehicles on the
access lot while ensuring safe movement of these vehicles is achieved. As discussed with Council
during the site visit held on Wednesday 12 February 2020, the existing two trees located adjacent to
the proposed easement are to be trimmed as an alternative to being removed.
The third tree proposed for removal is located adjacent to the approved compound on the subject site
as referenced on Drawing No. 4GYM-51-36-C0000-C3 of the amended proposal plans (refer
Appendix A). This tree is also identified on the amended easement plan for further reference. nbn
notes that this is the only tree proposed for removal. The tree must be removed to allow construction
vehicles to reverse into the area south of the compound and then exit the subject site into the access
lot in forward gear.
