Trees

Understand heritage policy as it relates to trees.

It is policy to:

  • Retain trees with assessed heritage significance (as noted in the Schedule to the Heritage Overlay).
  • Locate new development at a distance that ensures the ongoing health of any tree with assessed heritage significance. 
  • Ensure new buildings and works comply with the Australian Standard AS 4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites (Standards Australia) for vegetation of assessed significance.
Diagram showing examples of (1) a new building that is sited to ensure ongoing protection of a tree, with tree protection zone fencing around the tree during contruction (TPZ radius = 12 x diameter at breast height); and (2) a new building that is too close to the tree so will impact the ongoing health of the tree.
