Risk Identification & Preventative Planning
Construction work posed a risk to retained trees, requiring strict compliance with council conditions and ongoing monitoring to protect tree health.
A project arborist provided certification of tree protection measures before works commenced, attended site at council-specified hold points, monitored activity within Tree Protection Zones (TPZs), and supervised root pruning during construction.
All trees were protected throughout the build, council requirements were met, and final certification confirmed the trees remained in good health at project completion.
