Notification of upcoming tree works and traffic restrictions - Waters Road, Mount George
Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following works will be undertaken within Waters Road Mount George.
Works: Complete removal of two Eucalyptus obliqua – Messmate Stringybarks will be undertaken, as well as pruning to remove deadwood over the road corridor on the verge of 63 Waters Road.
Date of removal works: Thursday 4th and Friday 5th of May 7.30am – 3.30pm.
Reason for tree removal: The easternmost tree has experienced a structural root failure and the adjacent tree also displays evidence of significant root plate instability. No management options are available to retain the trees therefore full removal has been scheduled.
Vehicle restrictions: To enable the trees to be removed in a safe manner, the use of a large elevated work platform is required. As this equipment has a substantial footprint, residents are advised that access to the roadway will be restricted during the period described above. The roadway will still be open to vehicle traffic however residents are advised that delays may occur. Emergency vehicle access through the work site will be maintained. Throughout the duration of the works a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented.
Any usable timber will be left on the verge for residents to collect for firewood purposes once the works are completed. Please note, access to the work zone for wood collection is prohibited during the works.
We apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Council on 8408 0400.
