8. Inspection Results
Upon the day of the site visit, the mature Norfolk Island Pine was inspected with observations of the
specimen’s health and vigour captured during the inspection.

The tree exhibits positive signs of vitality with healthy apical extension evident from ground level.

10. Root zone Investigation
To assist with the investigation, the TPZ and SRZ radius of the Norfolk Island Pine and the proposed
driveway alignment was marked out with spot marker paint to provide visual representation to the
percentage of incursion from the operational works proposed to occur within this area of the site.

In a collaborative effort, the consulting arborist and Michael Lyell adjusted the proposed driveway alignment
to minimize incursions within both the TPZ and SRZ.

Hand excavation and potholing was conducted at seven points, spaced one meter apart to a depth of 600
mm along the outer edge of the updated alignment to the driveway crossover at the eastern site boundary.

The potholes revealed minimal active roots at each point with one pothole housing an active root of 10 –
15 mm in diameter at a depth of 100 mm below surface level.

With respect to the extent of incursion from the proposed driveway alignment, the remaining potholes were
surprisingly absent of active tree roots at these points.

Two active surface roots approximately 100 mm in diameter have been exposed due to soil disturbances
from vehicle parking on the road reserve.
