Notification of upcoming tree management works
16/01/2025
Adelaide Hills Council wishes to advise that the following works will be undertaken within Pike Street Oakbank.
Works: Pruning and crown lifting of varies species of trees and shrubs, and removal of two clusters Prunus sp., commonly known as Plum Tree, and one semi-mature Thuja plicata, commonly known as Western Red Cedar.
Location: As per the attached aerial map, the trees are located on the AHC verge between 12 Pike Street and 1 Elizabeth Street.
Date of works: Friday 24th January 2025 8:30am – 12:30pm
Reason for tree works: These works are required to facilitate the construction of the new footpath on Elizabeth Street and Pike Street. The Plum trees have undesirable structural qualities which make them unsuitable for long term retention. The Western Red Cedar (located on the Pike Street side of 2 John Street) is situated within the footprint of the footpath construction site. Crown lifting pruning works are required on the various species of trees on the northern side of Pike Street to allow access for the machinery required to construct the footpath.
Vehicle restrictions: To ensure that the works are conducted in a safe manner, the closure of one lane of Pike Street 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.
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 minor 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)
