URBAN FORESTRY AUSTRALIA - TREE MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING ARBORICULTURISTS4 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT4.1 Trees to be Removed4.1.1 There are several small trees and shrubs that would be removed toaccommodate the proposal. The majority of these meet the criteriaidentifying them as exempt from protection under the Tree PreservationOrder, and are not individually addressed in this report. These trees to beremoved are identified in Appendix C – Schedule of Assessed Trees.4.1.2 Trees 14 and 16These very small trees, Elaeocarpus reticulatus (Blueberry Ash) andMelaleuca linariifolia (Snow-in –summer), are part of a young row plantingalong the bitumen path to the west of the existing aquatic centre. Themajority of trees in this row are exempt from protection under MarrickvilleCouncil’s Tree Preservation Order. Trees 14 and 16 are within this row oftrees to be replaced as part of the overall landscape master plan.4.1.3 Trees 39, 40, 41 and 42The proposed entry paths from Black Street to the proposed aquatic centre,and changes to existing levels well inside the root zones of these treeswould result in tree decline and instability. Retention of Tree 40, a BroadleavedPaperbark, could be possible subject to future detailed assessment,advice and modification of the front entry at construction stage.4.1.4 Tree 59This Brush Box is well inside the location of the driveway for servicing theproposed plant room. This location for the driveway is logical as it is wouldallow direct access to the plant room, and avoids impacts on the majority ofthe Paperbarks facing the street.4.1.5 Tree 60This Broad-leaved paperbark will have excavation on two sides, at less thanthe tree’s optimal Tree Protection Zone. The tree is unlikely to tolerate thesignificant loss of roots and would be removed to accommodate the servicedriveway.Arboricultural Audit & Development Impact Assessment– Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre, Enmore ParkFebruary, 2009. 10 of 42
