Notification of Tree Removal Works - Federation Park Gumeracha

Adelaide Hills Council will be undertaking the following tree management works within Federation Park Gumeracha:

Works required: Removal of two declining trees, one Eucalyptus polyanthemos (Red Box Tree) and one Eucalyptus globulus (Tasmanian Blue Gum)

Location of works: The trees are situated to the northern and southern sides of the park's playground.

Reason for works: The trees display multiple fungal pathogens with their primary structures and declining heath characteristics. Ongoing decline in condition is anticipated with no reasonable remedial management options available. The trees have now surpassed their useful life expectancies and are not sustainable within the landscape. The removal of these two trees will enable the installation of a comprehensive underground turf irrigation system.

Date of Works: Wednesday 20th to Friday 22nd of March 2023.

Time of Works: 7:30am – 3:30pm

Access constraints: To enable these works to be undertaken in a safe manner, the playground and surrounding area will be closed to the public The playground will reopen upon completion of works on Friday 22nd.

We apologies for any inconvenience that these works may cause and thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

If you have any questions, please contact Council on 8408 0400.
