Scope
Urban Tree Care was commissioned by Charlie Haddad to assess all trees located at 63-65 Cosgrave
Road, Strathfield, that may be affected by a new proposed development.
A survey and a proposed site plan have been used to determine the effects on the trees on site.
Discussion
The proposed development will require the remove trees 1,2,3,4,6,7 to accommodate the
construction of the proposed development.
Tree 5 which is a council tree is to be retained and will need to be protected during the construction
process. It will need a Tree Protection Zone (TPZ). See TPZ on page 5 of this report.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ)
Prior to commencing any work on the site, the trees that are to be retained must be isolated from
the site using a 1.8-metre-high rigid temporary fence or appropriately classed hoarding.
Should the need arise to prune any branches to allow for installation of the hoarding this must be
done by a qualified arborist and in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 4373-2007“Pruning
of Amenity Trees”
Tree Protection must form a part of the site induction process. All inductees must be made aware of
the trees that are to be retained and the prohibited activities. The prohibited activities include:
Entry of machinery or people.
Storage of building materials.
Parking of any kind.
Erection or placement of site facilities.
Removal or stockpiling of soil or site debris.
Disposal of liquid waste including paint and concrete wash.
Excavation or trenching of any kind (including irrigation or electrical connections).
Attaching any signs or any other objects to the tree.
Placement of waste disposal or skip bins.
Pruning and removal of branches, except by a qualified Arborist.
A sign must be attached to the fenced areas with the words
“TREE PROTECTION ZONE – KEEP OUT’
The installation of the Tree Protection Zone must be done under the supervision of a level 5 Arborist.
The distances from the trunk for the TPZ of each tree, is 12 cm for every 1 cm trunk diameter (DBH)
this is a radial measurement. As indicated in Australian Standard AS 4970-2009 Protection of trees
on development sites.
