43 Tree removal and pruning<br />

at<br />

R2, S5, S6, C1, C2, and<br />

F1.<br />

Prepare a tree management plan (TrMP) as a sub-plan <strong>of</strong> the<br />

CEMP. As a minimum, the plan would:<br />

<br />

Provide for traffic management diversions that would be<br />

cognisant <strong>of</strong> the potential impact on low overhanging<br />

branches.<br />

<br />

Prevent materials storage or machinery movements within<br />

the tree protection zones unless the existing pavement is in<br />

place or particular ground protection measures are installed<br />

<br />

Avoid excavation within the tree protection zones wherever<br />

possible<br />

<br />

Implement machinery height restrictions to minimise impacts<br />

on overhanding trees<br />

<br />

Consider pruning as a last resort with preference give to tying<br />

back trees, diverting traffic away from protection zones and<br />

low hanging branches<br />

<br />

Ensure that all pruning would be undertaken by a qualified<br />

and experienced arborist to comply with AS4373:2007 –<br />

Pruning <strong>of</strong> Amenity Trees and WorkCover Amenity Tree<br />

Industry Code <strong>of</strong> Practice 1998<br />

<br />

Prevent excavation or root pruning from taking place within<br />

the structural root zone <strong>of</strong> a tree unless unavoidable. Where it<br />

is not avoidable, the excavation would be overseen by a<br />

qualified arborist who would advise on the treatment <strong>of</strong> any<br />

encountered roots.<br />

44 Operational light spill<br />

impacts on adjacent<br />

properties due to the<br />

relocation <strong>of</strong> existing<br />

lighting posts at NW2, R1,<br />

R2 and C2.<br />

Develop a lighting design specification that aims to ensure any<br />

the height and direction <strong>of</strong> any relocated lighting pole would not<br />

be adjacent to a first or second floor residential property.<br />

If there is any identified conflict, consider relocating the lighting<br />

pole to avoid any light spill impact.<br />

If the pole location cannot be relocated aim to minimal light spill<br />

and light glare in accordance with the provisions <strong>of</strong> AS4282-<br />
