The trees are situated within the road verge adjacent to 180 Mount Barker Road Aldgate, approximately 150m north of the intersection of Mount Barker Road and Arkaba Road Aldgate. Please refer to the below site map.

Type of Works:

Tree branch reduction pruning to two large dead Eucalypt trees situated within the Council road verge.

Reason For Works:

Branch reduction pruning is required to reduce the likelihood of tree part failure occurring over the road corridor. These tree works are necessary to manage the associated risks posed to people and property.

Traffic Impacts:

• During the works a comprehensive work zone traffic management plan will be implemented along Mount Barker Road.
• Mount Barker Road will be reduced down to one trafficable lane past the tree work site. Traffic flow will be controlled with stop / go traffic commands.
• These traffic restrictions will cause minor delays to traffic flow, all attempts will be made to limit impacts to road users.
