9 T REE P ROTECTION G UIDELINES (TPG)
For the proposed retention of the above trees onsite, the following guidelines are
recommended to be implemented to minimise the impact of the Project works. The protection
recommendations offered will be 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 and can be used within the project as
required.

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 to the
TPZ 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.

9.1    THE ROLE OF THE PROJECT ARBORIST AND TREE PROTECTION
An Arboricultural Assessment was undertaken by the Consult Arborist for the trees that require
consideration. The information within this Arboricultural Impact Assessment report 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.

Project Arborist to undertake regular inspection and supervision of works adjacent to the
exclusion zone in consultation with the Project Team.

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 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.
