K - Preliminary Arborist Report (29.08.2019)

08.3 TRUNK PROTECTION (PADDING)
Other tree protection measures are to be implemented along with the proposed tree
protection fencing design to protect the lower trunk region.     The material and positioning
of the protection measures (padding/timber/tie wire) will be specified and correct
installation will be confirmed by the Supervising Project Arborist in consultation with the
relevant representatives.


NOTE: pre-start TPZ Trunk Protection Certification will be issued prior to the
commencement of any proposed works.




08.4 TREE PROTECTION FENCING DESIGN
The tree protection fence should be erected prior to the commencement of works and
correct installation confirmed by the Supervising Project Arborist. The tree protection
fencing should be installed at the edge of the defined TPZ and/or near the interface of
the earth works and/or in consultation with relevant representatives and Treescience.

The tree protection fencing shall be suitably robust and securely braced to provide
sufficient protection for the tree(s) nominated for retention and shall be maintained in
good order for the duration of the development/construction period. Inspection of the tree
protection fencing should be undertaken frequently by the Project Manager and/or
Treescience.

The performance requirements for the tree protection fencing will be determined by the
type of activity that will take place within the TPZ, topography, and length of the
construction period in consultation with the relevant representatives and Treescience.

Typically, the performance requirement for the tree protection fencing will be:




     o     tree protection fencing shall only be removed, altered, or relocated with the
           authorisation from Treescience;
     o     installation, removal and, where required, replacement of tree protection fencing
           will be supervised and signed off by the relevant representative and Treescience
           and;
     o     the area between the tree protection fencing and the subject tree is deemed the
           defined TPZ or exclusion zone
     o     the defined TPZ should be secured to restrict access in and around the tree(s)
           nominated for retention
                                                                                                Page31
