Complete tree removal of four (4) dead Eucalyptus obliqua – Messmate Stringybark trees.
- Opposite property number 42:
Complete removal of one (1) mature Fraxinus angustifolia – Narrow Leaved Ash tree.
- Adjacent property number 35:

- Various locations:
Pruning of vegetation situated with road verge encroaching within road traffic envelope.
Date of pruning and removal works: Thursday 19th September 2024 - 8:30am to 4:00pm.
Reason for tree removal works: Various undesirable structural features have been identified within the dead Eucalyptus obliqua trees located adjacent property number 6. The taper of the trees rendering them unsuitable for retention as smaller specimens. Complete removal of these trees is required to reduce risk posed to people and property.
Historical branch failures have occurred within the Fraxinus angustifolia tree situated opposite property number 42. These previous failure events have resulted in the tree displaying a disfigured appearance and poor branching distribution. The subject tree orientates over the road surface. Complete removal of the tree is required to manage the elevated failure potential present and improve road access.
Road Closure and vehicle restrictions: To enable works to be conducted in a safe manner, the use of various machinery is required. This equipment will be positioned on the road surface requiring closure of The Crescent. Throughout the duration of the works, a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented. Vehicle and pedestrian access below property number 6 will be restricted during the indicated hours of work. To minimise disruption to residents, works have been scheduled to commence from 8:30am enabling morning vehicle traffic to exit.
We ask for impacted residents within The Cresent to review the location of the road closure area and move vehicles out of the affected area prior to works commencing (prior to 8:30am). Emergency vehicle access will be maintained throughout the duration of the works, please contact 0447 401 183 if you have any essential access requirements during the indicated hours above.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
