URBAN FORESTRY AUSTRALIA - TREE MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING ARBORICULTURISTS5 CONCLUSIONSThe arboricultural assessment identifies four (4) of the existing ninety-one (91) assessedsite trees are declining in health and/or condition. These would be removed regardless ofthe proposed site development.The assessment also identifies significant trees which require further detailed inspection todetermine the extent of defects or other identified problems with tree health and structure.There are many trees that are not protected under the Tree Preservation and Order or,are of low landscape significance or retention value. These trees could be replaced withmore appropriate plantings at the landscaping stage of works. Approximately thirty-six (36)such trees have been identified and removal is supportable for future landscaping, orwhere these trees place constraints on the proposed development.Two Lemon-scented Gums are to be removed, and although they are visually significant,they are not part of the original tree plantings. It is unlikely these could be retained withoutsignificant design changes to the proposal.A review of the proposed development reveals the row of trees facing Black Street can beretained, subject to relatively minor modifications to the design, and specific protectionmeasures designed to reduce construction impacts on the trees.The proposed paving and other structures in the vicinity of a large Brush Box and twoMoreton Bay Figs requires detailed assessment and design modifications to ensure thelong term viability of the trees.Arboricultural Audit & Development Impact Assessment– Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre, Enmore ParkFebruary, 2009. 14 of 42
