K - Preliminary Arborist Report (29.08.2019)

It should be noted that detailed AWMS will be personalised on the commission of an
Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA).




08            IMPACT ASSESSMENT and TREE-SPECIFIC MITIGATION MEASURES



This section outlines the identified impacts of the proposed operational works adjacent to
a tree, within and or adjacent to the project area in accordance with AS4970-2009.


It should be noted that detailed impacts assessment and tree specific mitigation measures
will be personalised on the commission of an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA).


AS4970-2009, highlights the requirements for tree protection where construction works will
transpire and is considered general information only. The exact tree specific mitigation
measures required for this project will be addressed at Operational Works by Treescience
and the relevant representatives and must be certificated prior to the commencement of
any proposed works.




08.1 ESTABLISHING THE TPZ
The TPZ helps protect tree roots from preventable incidents such as but not limited to
soil compaction damage, mechanical damage and chemical spills and are critical to ensure
the viability of the subject tree(s). Tree protection materials such as barriers and/or
ground protection are to be installed prior to the commencement of any construction
activity being undertaken on site including but not limited to:




     o     any materials or machinery brought onto site
     o     development or stripping of soil




Furthermore, no construction activities should take place until the relevant requirements
of this report have been implemented. The exact extent/design of the tree protection
fencing will be nominated by the Supervising Project Arborist and relevant representatives
in accordance with the development approval, site constraints and tree protection
requirements following the industry guidelines set out within AS4970-2009 and approved
reports/drawings.
