                 9 T REE P ROTECTION G UIDELINES
                 With no trees either on the site or within the council road reserve proposed to be retained due
                 to project and civil design requirements, the tree protection measures are to be used as a
                 guide for the trees within the neighbouring properties. It is advised that discussions are held
                 with the neighbouring property owners in regard to the impact on the trees that may occur
                 during the construction phase.

                 For the proposed retention of the trees adjacent to the site, the following guidelines are
                 recommended to be implemented to minimise the impact of the project works. The protection
                 recommendations offered are guided by, AS4790 – 2009 Protection of trees on development
                 sites, industry best practices 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 for practical use with common sense and
                 discretion.

                 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 undertaken by the Project Arborist will outline the trees that
                 require consideration. The information within these Tree Protection Guidelines 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.

                 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 are
                 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.
