Default Re: Tree Protection on Development Sites, are there any Australian Standards?

This is a relatively new estate.

The area has a WAV, SNV and SLT VPO's, basically all trees are protected regardless of size.

I'll run through the pics of what these trendy burbs are up to. This one is off Fig Tree Pocket rd in Brisbane, not that far from the city, maybe 10kms tops.

Typical narrow streets you have to park on the grass so others can get by, doing a U-Turn with truck or trailer etc is a right bugger and you will be looking for two driveways opposite each other to do it or a decent reversing job.



Now pay attention to the grey gum (euc major) by the trailer.



Note the grade change, hard landscape surfaces, building and lawn.



Looking at the canopy you note the lower collar cuts of work on the trunk however take note (not of the plane but couldn't miss that opportunity) of the dead wood, loads of it.



Here's a side on look at the codominant union, nice elephant ears. In the 2nd pic above this was around where the top of the light pole was.



And now you'll get 2 pics showing both sides of that codominant union.
