Notification of upcoming tree removal works at 8 Waverley Ridge Rd Stirling
Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following tree removal works will be undertaken adjacent to 8 Waverley Ridge Road Stirling:
Works: Complete removal of one Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. angustifolia, commonly known as Desert Ash.
Location: As per the attached aerial map, the tree is located on the AHC verge at 8 Waverley Ridge Road Stirling.
Date of works: Thursday 12th December 2024, 9:30am– 2:30pm.
Reason for works: The tree has been heavily pruned for adjacent powerline clearance over an extended period, resulting in an unbalanced crown. This has increased the wind loading forces experienced by the tree’s primary stem, compromising its structural stability.
Vehicle restrictions: To enable the tree to be removed in a safe manner, the use of a specialised type of machinery is required. As this plant has a substantial footprint, closure of Waverley Ridge Road between properties 2 and 14 will be required. Throughout the duration of the works, a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan with detours will be implemented. Access for emergency services will be maintained.
What the works mean for you: Residents of properties in the affected area will still be able to access their properties but are advised that delays may occur. To avoid disruption, we ask for impacted residents within the affected area to review the location of the worksite and select the appropriate street access point.
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Should you require any special assistance during the works, please call the customer contact centre on 08 8408 0400.
Yours sincerely,
Environment and Infrastructure Department (Arboriculture)
Adelaide Hills Council
