Dear Sir,

re: Ballarat Planning Scheme Amendment C191

Permit Application No 2014/829

Marvella Heights St Pauls Way, Bakery Hill, Ballarat

Introduction

A high density development is proposed for Marvella Heights St Pauls Way, Bakery

Hill, Ballarat. In May of this year, Galbraith and Associates undertook an assessment

of all the trees on and close to the site, as a result of an earlier request by Best Hooper

Lawyers. Subsequently Galbraith and Associates produced a report dated the

1/June/15, based on the overall ground floor plan dated May. The following is

essentially a reproduction of that report, but updated to reflect the impact of the

current plans. This statement includes a description of the overall treed nature of the

site, an assessment of each tree (or group of trees if relatively homogeneous)

providing species type, data on sizes, condition, the worth for retention estimates for

each site tree, origin of the trees (whether exotic, Australian, Victorian or indigenous)

and tree protection zone guidelines for the higher worth trees.

It also includes a discussion on an exploratory trench which was undertaken in May

under my supervision for the purposes of determining whether a driveway can be

constructed close to a large healthy oak near the north-west corner, as well as a

discussion on the impact of the latest plans.

Each tree is located and numbered on the accompanying copy of the existing site

conditions survey and discussed in the accompanying excel tables of data.

The design plan upon which I base my assumptions is drawing TP-08 sheet 9 of 35,

the proposed overall ground floor site plan by Project Now dated July 2015.

2

The Trees- General

There are approximately 65 live trees on the site.

Deciduous exotic trees make up only a small fraction of the total but include those

five individuals which are probably the highest worth for retention trees on the site -

four English Oaks - trees 18, 27, 43 and 53 (Quercus robur, one of which may well be

a hybrid) and a Dutch Elm (Ulmus x hollandica) - tree 41. Each is situated adjacent to

either a government road or to St Pauls Way. Several of the oaks are likely to be aged

greater than 80 years and have well-developed spreading crowns. In some cases,

particularly the Dutch Elm, tree surgery works are needed, but the useful life

expectancy of these trees is greater than 30 years. In addition, the elm requires

treatment for Elm Leaf Beetle, which is currently causing significant leaf

skeletonising and defoliation. The evergreen exotic trees that are present are relatively

small and insignificant; they include Kohuhu (Pittosporum tenuifolium) and

Variegated Pittosporum (Pittosporum eugenioides ‘Variegatum’).

A range of Australian species, principally eucalypts, make up the balance of the trees

on the site. All are the result of plantings dating to approximately 32 years ago. Seven

of these plantings belong to four species which are native to the local area, namely

Candlebark (Eucalyptus rubida), Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis), Snow Gum

(Eucalyptus pauciflora) and Blackwoods (Acacia melanoxylon). The Candlebark,

which is situated on the southern boundary (through which there is a natural drainage

of water), is the most substantial of these. It is multi- stemmed as a result of having

been lopped to ground level in the past.

Non-local Australian species can be divided into those that are native to Victoria and

those that occur naturally only in other states. The first group mainly comprises

Southern Mahogany (Eucalyptus botryoides) - which on this site is characterised by

trees of asymmetric form and a tendency to shed branches, Yellow Gum (Eucalyptus

leucoxylon) - most of which are healthy but are structurally only fair, Buxton Gum

(Eucalyptus crenulata) - principally two uncommonly large, overmature trees and Red

Ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon) - two trees of no and limited retention worth

respectively. Also present are a couple of overmature Bracelet Honey-myrtle

(Melaleuca armillaris) and a struggling Coast Banksia (Banksia integrifolia).

Non-Victorian species are of greater variety. The most prominent are six Willow

Peppermint (Eucalyptus nicholii), each of which is over mature, a River She-oak

(Casuarina cunninghamiana) in fair condition and a large symmetrical specimen of

White Peppermint (Eucalyptus pulchella). Although this last mentioned individual

appears to be a good specimen although somewhat marred by some cankers on its

lower branches, in keeping with other individuals of this species in Melbourne it is

unlikely to have a long safe useful life expectancy. Others that are present, as small

specimens and/or in fair/poor condition, include Swamp Mahogany (Eucalyptus

robusta), Lemon-scented Gum (Corymbia citriodora), Wallangarra White Gum

(Eucalyptus scoparia), Red-flowering Gum (Corymbia ficifolia) and Snow in Summer

(Melaleuca linariifolia).

Impact of the Proposal

It is proposed to retain trees 18, 27, 41, 43 and 53. Each has been provided ample

space for successful retention and the ongoing provision of amenity for many years to

come.

Tree 27 With respect to tree 27, I am informed a protrusion of the driveway needs to

be built well into its TPZ (Tree protection zone, as per the methodology of calculation

from the relevant Australian Standard 4970:2009 'Protection of trees on development

sites') for fire truck access. It must be ensured that this protrusion is built on the

existing grade. This CFA and truck turning area will have to be built up with a porous

material such as scoria whose edges are secured in a post and sleeper type

construction. The sites for the post holes for the sleepers must only be chosen after

non root destructive hand digging to 600mm depth or the required depth of the post

hole, whichever the shallower, reveals that there are no roots of significance, the loss

of which could cause a long term deleterious impact on the tree. Minor crown lifting

pruning will be required to provide access clearance for the trucks. Such pruning can

be readily undertaken without having any impact on the longevity or health of the

tree.

Trees 41 and 43 In relation to tree 41, a driveway from Marvella Way into

townhouse TO1 is proposed to be constructed partially over the outer edge of its TPZ.

It is apparent however that the drive is to be on or above grade where it encroaches on

the TPZ, hence there will be no impact on the root zone from this. Furthermore I

recommend a porous surface be used, such as the product 'Stoneset'.

With respect to both trees 41 and 43, a power kiosk is proposed to be situated between

them. The slab for the kiosk sits on ground and the pit beneath is considerably smaller

than outlined on the plan. This will have no impact on the trees, however any conduit

heading north or south from the kiosk must be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, then it

must be inserted beneath the root zones in a non root destructive manner such as by

careful hand digging, pneumatic or hydraulic trenching. The total TPZ area

encroachment from both the kiosk and drive is 9.1% of tree 41, and 6.9% of the TPZ

area of tree 43 from the kiosk.

Proposed crossover next to Tree 53

A vehicular crossover is proposed to be constructed near the north-west corner of the

site, from St Pauls Way into the site 3m east of the trunk centre of tree 53, a large

mature English Oak in good condition. It is proposed to use the product 'Stoneset'

which has the advantage over standard crossovers such as asphalt or concrete or

gravel by having the following properties: it is porous unlike asphalt and concrete,

thereby allowing water and air penetration, and unlike gravel, is sufficiently rigid to

prevent localised soil compaction and erosion. Thus it is seen as being sympathetic to

the functioning of the root zone below. However in order to construct the product, at

least a 220mm excavation is required in order to have the surface of the new material

match that of the surrounding.

Therefore non root destructive exploratory trenching was undertaken 3m east of the

trunk centre to a depth of 250mm for 7m in length in order to determine what roots if

any would be intercepted as a result of installing the product. The results are shown in

the following photos:

Results of the Trenching for the Crossover near Tree 53 and Conclusion

The root growth intercepted was minor and its loss will be insignificant to the ongoing

health and longevity of the tree. Tree roots were few and far between and the largest

was approximately 15mm diameter. One can be very confident therefore that the

crossover can be constructed without having any adverse impact on the tree.

In relation to building M3, this intrudes 8.2% into the TPZ, which is minor and

acceptable according to the Aust Std.

Tree 18 A new entry is to be constructed into Daniel Lane from Marvella Way to the

south of tree 18. It is essentially following the existing concrete drive in

approximately the same position, however the level will have to be raised somewhat

once it becomes Daniel Lane. The concrete path is also to be laid on grade, hence

there will be little or no impact on the root zone as a result. The M3 building only

makes a very small encroachment of 3.3% by area into the TPZ. Thus the conditions

will change very little here with respect to the tree.

General Tree Protection Measures

During demolition, care must be taken to avoid felling trees or large parts thereof onto

the trees to be retained. Avoid any excavation or level changes within more than 10%

of the TPZ areas of the trees to be retained.

Before construction commences, sturdy high visibility tree protection fence at least

1.8m tall must be constructed around the site trees to be retained. The fences must be

constructed to the TPZs or to as large an area as possible, yet which still allows

construction to proceed in a safe and efficient manner whilst protecting the tree. The

fences must not be moved during the construction period unless after discussion with

the project arborist. Mulch must be laid to a depth of some 75mm within the fences.

Any necessary pruning ought be undertaken some time before construction

commences.

During construction, no fill nor rubbish can enter the fences, nor excavation for any

purpose within them, (unless under arboricultural supervision and signed off by the

project arborist as not being harmful to the SULE of the tree). Examples are avoiding

any excavation for drains and services within more than 10% of the TPZ areas, unless

by non root destructive means such as horizontal boring at greater than 800mm depth

or by pneumatic or hydraulic means under arboricultural supervision.

The soil around the trees must receive periodic irrigation over the summer and autumn

periods of construction, such that the root zones are never allowed to dry out.

Notes on Terminology

In order to understand the column headings of the table of data, I have provided the following

explanations:

DBH diameter of trunk over bark at breast height In a number of cases where the tree has forked into

multiple trunks below breast height (1.3-1.5m) the diameter is measured below the fork and an estimate

is made for the single trunk equivalent at breast height, or else figures for each of the individual stems

can be given.

HxS This is the estimated height (H) of the tree and its average crown spread (S).

SULE Safe useful life expectancy in years. Taken in the context that the area is to be developed for

residential use, and that sensible distances are maintained between the buildings and the trees, this is

the estimate of time that the tree will continue to provide useful amenity without imposing an onerous

financial burden in order to maintain relative safety, and avoid excessive nuisance.

Condition This descriptor can be encapsulated by three terms, namely Health (H), Structure (S) and

Form (F).

Health is largely governed by the ease in which the metabolic functions are occurring throughout the

tree. Symptoms of health include the amount, distribution, density, size and colour of the foliage.

Structure refers to the structural stability of the tree and its branches. A well structured tree is not likely

to shed branches or stems, or snap in the trunk or blow over, whereas a poorly structured tree is more

likely to.

Form basically refers to the symmetry of the tree. A tree with a straight trunk and symmetrical crown

and evenly distributed branches is referred to as having good form, whilst a lopsided leaning tree may

have fair – poor form.

Worthiness of Retention (WOR):

The worth for retention of a tree is based on the assumption that the site is to be re-developed, and that

there is the opportunity for new tree planting. It is based on a number of factors. These factors are:

1. structure, health, form and safe useful life expectancy,

2. size, prominence in the landscape,

3. species rarity,

4. whether indigenous,

5. whether an environmental weed.

6. importance for habitat of native wildlife

7. whether of historical or cultural interest

Any tree with a WOR rating of 3 or less should be seriously considered for removal before

development begins because it is dead, nearly dead or dangerous, a weed, is causing or is likely to

cause a severe nuisance in the near future, or just of very little significance and readily replaceable with

new plantings. Trees rated 4-6 are of some significance. Some of these trees may respond to

treatments such as formative pruning, removal of dead wood, weight reduction pruning etc. Trees rated

7 or higher are of high significance (the higher the ranking the more so), primarily because of their

good health, structure, form, prominence in the landscape and SULE, although all they still may need

substantial works done on them as already detailed, if they are to be retained.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) According to the Australian Standard AS 4970-2009 ‘Protection of

Trees on Building Sites’, the TPZ is the principal means of protecting trees on development sites. It is a

combination of the root area and crown area requiring protection. It is an area isolated from

construction disturbance, so that the tree remains viable.’ The radius of the TPZ is calculated by

multiplying the DBH by 12. The radius is measured from the centre of the stem at ground level. An

area of 10% of the TPZ is deemed acceptable to violate if 10% of the area of the TPZ is made up in

9

other directions. Thus if encroachment is from one side only, encroachment to as close as

approximately 8 times the DBH (2/3 the listed TPZ radius) is permissible according to the Standard.

The AS 4970-2009 should only be construed as a rough guide. It is only used in this statement because

various local authorities now demand it in their assessments of development applications. Many factors

such as the type of encroachment on the TPZ, species tolerance, age, presence of spiral grain, soil type,

soil depth, tree lean, the existence of onsite structures or root directional impediments, level of wind

exposure, irrigation and ongoing tree care and maintenance are each highly influential on the size and

success of the TPZ estimation, therefore the figures derived from the Standard and provided in this

report must be treated as rough guides only.

Tree Origin Categories

Each tree has been classified as to whether it is indigenous (I), native to Victoria (V), native to

Australia (A), exotic (E) or an environmental weed (W).

An indigenous species (I) is one that is known to grow naturally in the local area, even if the individual

tree has been planted and is from a seed source or provenance foreign to the area.

A species classified V is one which has a part or all, even if very small, of its natural range within

Victoria, although it may occur outside the state as well. It does not however occur naturally in the

local area.

A species classified A is native elsewhere in Australia than Victoria. It does not occur naturally in the

local area.

A species classified E has its natural range occurring outside Australia.

A species classified W is a seriously invasive environmental weed.

Summary

Deciduous exotic trees make up only a small fraction of the total but include those

five individuals which are probably the highest worth for retention trees on the site -

four English Oaks - trees 18, 27, 43 and 53 (Quercus robur, one of which may well be

a hybrid) and a Dutch Elm (Ulmus x hollandica) - tree 41. Each is situated adjacent to

either a government road or to St Pauls Way. Several of the oaks are likely to be aged

greater than 80 years and have well-developed spreading crowns. In some cases,

particularly the Dutch Elm, tree surgery works are needed, but the useful life

expectancy of these trees is greater than 30 years.

A range of Australian species, principally eucalypts, make up the balance of the trees

on the site. All are the result of plantings dating to approximately 32 years ago.

It is proposed to retain trees 18, 27, 41, 43 and 53 which are probably the best trees on

the site.

Declaration:

I hereby declare that I have made all the enquiries that I believe are desirable and

appropriate, and no matters of significance which I regard as relevant have to my

knowledge been withheld from the respected Tribunal.
