Notification of upcoming tree works - 1 Aldgate Terrace Bridgewater
Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following works will be undertaken within Aldgate Terrace Bridgewater:
Works: Habitat pruning of one Eucalyptus obliqua - Messmate Stringybark - and pruning to remove deadwood from one Eucalyptus obliqua - Messmate Stringybark – will be undertaken.
Location: As per the attached aerial maps, the trees are located on the AHC verge adjacent to 1 Aldgate Terrace Bridgewater.
Date of works: Thursday 14th December 2023 7:30am – 11:00am.
Reason for tree works: The Eucalyptus obliqua on the north eastern aspect of the driveway is dead and has brittle terminal branching structure which extends over the roadway and the property. The tree has been identified as being suitable for medium to long term retention as a habitat tree and the crown will be reduced to its primary branching structure. The Eucalyptus obliqua on the western side of the driveway has medium diameter deadwood which extends over the roadway and property. Pruning to remove accessible deadwood will be undertaken.
Vehicle restrictions: To enable works to be undertaken in a safe manner, the use of an Elevated Work Platform (EWP) is required. As the EWP has a substantial footprint, closure of Aldgate Terrace will be required. Residents in the affected area will still be able to access their properties during the works but are advised that delays may occur. Throughout the duration of the works, a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented. To avoid disruption, we ask for impacted residents within Aldgate Terrace to review the location of the worksite and move vehicles out of the affected area prior to works commencing if required.
Usable timber from the works will be left in manageable lengths on the verge 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.
If you have any questions, please contact Council on 08 8408 0400.
