Notification of upcoming tree removal works at Silver Road Bridgewater
Notification of upcoming tree management works – Silver Road Bridgewater
Dear resident,
Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following works will be undertaken within Silver Road Bridgewater.
Works: Complete removal of multiple dead Eucalyptus sp.
Location: As per the attached aerial map, the trees are located on the AHC verge at 5 Silver Road Bridgewater.
Date of works: Friday 21st February 2025 8:30am to 4:00pm
Reason for tree works: The Eucalyptus sp. are completely dead and display brittle terminal branching structure which projects over high voltage powerlines and Silver Road. The structure and form of the subject trees make them unsuitable for retention as habitat trees.
Vehicle restrictions: To enable the trees to be removed in a safe manner, the use of specialised machinery is required. As this machinery has a substantial footprint, closure of Silver Road between properties 2 and 5 will be required. Throughout the duration of the works, a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented and access for emergency services will be maintained. The chain gate located east of 18 Silver Road will be unlocked to allow vehicle access to Mt Barker Road from the eastern end of Silver Road for properties located east of 5 Silver Road.
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.
Usable timber from the works may be left in manageable lengths on the verge, where safe to do so, for collection for firewood by local residents. Please note, access to the work site is strictly prohibited during the works. Residents will be able to collect wood once the works have been completed.
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.
Updates about the works will be made available via our Community Engagement Hub Webpage engage.ahc.sa.gov.au
Yours sincerely,
Open Spaces Department (Arboriculture)
Adelaide Hills Council
