�� Tree Management Strategy
Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree
Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices is now needed.
This Tree Management Strategy aims to
maintain and develop the tree resources of
the City of Burnside by actively enhancing
and fostering the management of these
resources in partnership with the people
of the City.
It will provide a framework for staff,
residents and professionals to manage trees
throughout the City for the long term.
The Strategy applies to street trees, parks
and reserve plantings and privately owned
trees that affect council infrastructure. It
provides generic management plans for
trees within Council-owned reserves, care
andmaintenancestandardsfor‘significant
trees’, and guidelines and future directions
for replacing street trees.
This is a working document that can be
updated to suit the future needs and
directions of the City. It is closely linked to
the City of Burnside’s ‘2020 Strategic Vision’
and to the recently completed Community
Land Management Plans. It provides a
straightforward guide to all issues related to
tree management within the City.
A recent audit of street trees has
determined the health, age, and species of
the street tree population. The Strategy
includes a breakdown of these results to
inform better planning and management
practices. It also reviews and summarises
the street tree audit undertaken in 1991,
and where possible compares and analyses
the results of both surveys to provide a
historical perspective to Council’s tree-
management practices over the last
13 years.
Further review of tree management and
work practices is now needed. It is a
requirement under the Local Government
Act 1999 that Council have adequate
systems in place to reduce Council liability
regarding trees. We believe that the Strategy
will lead to proactive tree management for
thebenefitofCouncil,residents,staffand
key stakeholders. This will ensure that the
City of Burnside remains a leading provider
in urban forest management.
���Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
Council aims to retain as many aged trees as possible
Summary Prolonging the life and safety of our ageing trees is a high priority for many residents of the City.
To a great extent the management of
the City’s trees may be seen as a highly
successful aspect of Council’s function.
However, demands and community
expectations are continually rising, and
managing this asset is becoming more
difficultandcomplex.TheCity’sstreettree
population is ageing and nearing the point
where replacement will be necessary. In
some cases this will completely change the
amenity and character of parts of the City.
Prolonging the life and safety of our ageing
trees is a high priority for many residents
of the City. Recognising this, the Strategy
includes a broadened approach to street
tree care that is more palliative; it aims
to retain as many aged trees as possible,
while its replacement strategy maintains
the character and amenity of the area.
The Complete Care Pruning Program,
for example, creates proactive care of
street trees that addresses tree care on an
individual tree basis.
The basic objective of this Strategy is to
re-definetree-managementpractices
and create policies that will maintain and
improve the quality of the tree stock within
our City for the future. Council policies
and practices need to meet community
expectations, in line with available resources.
Council recognises its responsibility to
maintain an asset that is dynamic and subject
to increasing environmental changes in both
built and natural environments. Management
systemsandpracticesmustbeflexible
enough to adapt to these changes without
being vague and inconsistent.
This Strategy also includes a communication
and information program that provides
quality advice to the community. There
is a comprehensive list of suggested
replacement tree species for each street
within the City, as well as suggestions about
thesignificanceofparticulartreespeciesin
the history of the local area.
This Strategy combines all current
practices, informal and formal policies into
one document that includes a number
of recommendations about the way we
manage the City’s largest and most valued
asset. It will complement Council’s new
‘2020 Strategic Vision’ for the City and
underpin Council’s intent to be a leader
in local government administration. The
following are key recommendations.

Key recommendat�ons
1..EXPLORE.PLANTING.ALTERNATIVES
Council’s overall tree replacement
philosophy is to promote and substantially
increase the percentage of vegetation,
where appropriate, by replacing exotic
or unsuitable Australian species with local
native trees and shrubs. However, there is
also a principle that dominant street tree
species should be maintained wherever
possible.
Where the dominant street tree species is
non-local or exotic, it may still be possible to
establish‘islands’oflocalnativeflorawithin
the streetscape. These can link to existing
watercourses and wildlife corridors that
provide ‘stepping stones’ for local native
birds and mammals. Any of the following
strategies could be used to achieve this
outcome:
Where the footpath/nature strip is
narrow in comparison with the width of
the road itself it may be possible to create
generous planting islands within large
dedicated verges, in this way replacing
or restoring tree coverage in the overall
streetscape.
Council may consider reducing car
parking to create discrete areas within
the verge or road reserve to act as stand-
alone planting beds. The percentage of
total tree coverage can be greater from
≠
≠
individual stand-alone specimens spread at
intervals through the streetscape, rather
than from numerous small trees squeezed
along a narrow verge. Streets offering
good opportunities for this approach
include Grant Avenue, Toorak Gardens
and Swaine Avenue, Rose Park.
On verges adjacent to parks and reserves,
opportunities exist to establish larger
trees than would be appropriate for
residential street frontages. In these
situations, where appropriate, local native
trees and shrubs could replace existing
exotic tree plantings.
Road intersections with a low volume of
pedestrianandvehicletrafficcancontinue
to provide verge space for a blend of
exotic and native plantings.
2..ALTERNATIVE.VERGE.TREATmENTS
Council promotes the sustainable use
of natural resources, and will investigate
alternative verge treatments that require
minimum watering. Water basins will be
installed around the base of each tree. The
type of water basin will vary according to
the verge type, but each should be able to
collect and hold at least 40 litres of water at
anyonetime.Thebasinswillbefilledwith
mulch to a depth of 50–75 mm and will be
maintained for at least three years after the
planting of the tree.

3..AddITIONAL.STREET.TREE.
PLANTING
In areas where street tree planting is not
well established it may be appropriate for
Council to supply, at no cost to nearby
property owners, suitable tree plantings to
enhance the streetscape appeal of the area.
Ongoing maintenance of the trees would be
borne by Council. However, there would be
strict criteria about where such trees would
be positioned and an emphasis should be
placed on expanding the local indigenous
tree population, particularly within areas
such as Stonyfell, Burnside, Beaumont,
Auldana and Skye.
4..PROTECTION.OF.STREET.TREES......
NEAR.dEVELOPmENT.SITES
It is recommended that wherever
appropriate an advisory note must be
included within development approval
(Provisional Planning Consent/Building
Rules Consent) that street trees adjacent
to private development must be protected.
This will require all street trees opposite or
adjacent to development sites to be fenced
to prevent vehicle movement and storage of
materials under or around the base of the
street tree.
�v vTree Management Strategy Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest �v vTree Management Strategy Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forestOur next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
It is recommended that watering regimes be increased so as to provide at least 40 litres of water to every new tree planted, once a week.
5..WATERING.REGImES
It is recommended that watering regimes be
increased so as to provide at least 40 litres
of water to every new tree planted, once
a week. Each tree will stay on the watering
program for a minimum of 12 months.
The volume of water applied to each new
tree planting will slowly reduce over the
three year watering program so that by the
third year most tree plantings will be self-
sustaining. This water regime is subject to
environmental conditions and in some cases
this may affect the replacement planting
program.
6..ThE.COmPLETE.CARE..
PRuNING.PROGRAm
The Complete Care Pruning Program
(CCPP) is designed to provide ongoing
maintenance and care for the City’s ageing
tree population. The emphasis is on palliative
care of the City’s trees so that they can be
retained in a safe condition. The CCPP also
allows for quick response tree management
practices, such as control of low overhanging
vegetation if it is blocking access or vision.
The CCPP will be advertised on a quarterly
basis to all key stakeholders, residents,
property owners and external agencies such
as the Electricity Trust of South Australia.
7..CLEARANCE.PRuNING.
SPECIFICATIONS
Council’s arboriculture unit will prune
Council-owned vegetation that intrudes
into and over all infrastructures within the
road reserve to the following minimum
clearancespecifications.
Footpath Clearance:
Edge of Footpath: 2.4 metres
Centre of footpath: 2.7 metres (with
variationsdependingonpedestriantraffic
loads, sight line issues and extent of
private residential overhang)
Road side:
Kerb line: 2.7–3 metres (depending
ontrafficloads/sitelineissues)
Centre of road (non-arterial): 5 metres
8..RESIdENT.NOTIFICATION.SySTEm
Council will introduce a new resident
notificationsystem,usinga‘postcard’to
advise residents about relevant issues of
tree management. Topics include:

Young tree maintenance pruning will not

years of planting. Formative pruning will only
be undertaken to address inherent internal
branching deformities that may arise when
grown under nursery conditions. Where
possible, tree stock should comply with the
NationalSpecificationSystemofAustralia
(NATSPEC).
10..REmNANT.TREE.PRuNING
Current resources are inadequate for the
appropriate management of Council-owned
remnant tree stocks. Additional resources
may need to be committed to this area of
tree management to adequately care for
the ageing remnant tree population. It is
intended to create a database of remnant
trees growing within the road reserve,
detailingstructuraldeficiencies,maintenance
requirements, and a management plan that
indicates what resources are required to
minimise risk and promote good health.

PARKS.ANd.RESERVES
As an initial step towards a detailed and
sustainable strategy, Council endorses
the development of a structured, tree
replacement program. This will be based
on maintaining the current tree coverage
within each reserve, and will also expand
total tree coverage over the entire parks
and reserve network by at least 20% within
the next ten years. Greater emphasis will
be placed on promoting and planting local
indigenous trees in preference to Australian
native trees. It is also proposed to create
links between each reserve to assist in the
establishment of wildlife corridors based on
local indigenous tree species.
12..TREE.REmOVAL.ISSuES
Before removal, any Council-owned tree
must be assessed by an arboriculture
officer,usuallywithreferencetothe
Manager of Operation Services through

14..dEVELOPmENT.SITE:.dRIVEWAy.
CROSSOVER.SETbACKS
As a general principle, Council regulations
require that no new driveway crossover will
come within 1.5 metres of any mature street
tree. Proposals for driveway crossovers will
consider the maturity and trunk diameter
of any street tree that may be affected.
Consequently, driveway crossover setbacks
may need to be substantially greater in
some cases.
Alternative arrangements that may include
the relocation or removal of a juvenile tree/s,
or a tree species unsuitable for the verge,
will be considered. However, in these cases
the relocation or removal will be at the
discretion of Council. All costs associated
with the relocation or removal will be borne
by the applicant.
15..dRIVEWAy.CROSSOVER.WIdTh
As per Council Policy 4.2.1, section 5, no
new driveway crossover will be more
than six metres in total width across the
road reserve verge. All proposals will have
reference to the location and proximity of
the driveway crossover to Council-owned
street trees.
16..TREE.REPLACEmENT.PROGRAmS
The total number of tree replacements
will be no fewer than 400 trees within
the current operating budget, in any one
financialyear.
The Second Generation Street Tree
Replacement Program (SGSTRP) will be
funded as a capital initiative and will include
within its budget the cost of tree purchase,
tree planting and a three-year watering
regime. Tree replacements under this
program will generally take precedence,
but may not total more than 200 trees
inanyonefinancialyearunlessdirected
by Council.
If the total number of replacement plantings
exceeds 400, a report will be brought
to Council by no later than March each
year requesting additional funds to cover
additional replacement plantings and their
ongoing management.
17..NON-CONFORmING.TREE.
PLANTING
Where trees have been planted by residents
within the road reserve verge, Council
will notify the relevant owner/occupier in
writing that tree planting without Council
endorsement is not permitted and request
that the tree be removed as soon as
possible. If this request is not complied with,
the tree(s) or vegetation will be removed by
Council’s Arboriculture Unit and returned
to the adjacent property in an appropriate
container.Anexampleofthenotification
card to be used for a non-conforming tree
planting is on p. 48 of this Strategy.
18..PRIVATE.OVERhANGING.
VEGETATION
Council agrees in principle to monitor
private, overhanging vegetation intruding into
and impeding safe passage and use of the
footpath, and where appropriate will make
notificationtoremovesuchvegetation.
19..FOOTPATh.REPLACEmENT.
PROGRAm
The current footpath replacement program
is having a deleterious effect on certain
street tree species where the use of block
paving may be damaging their root zones.
Wherever possible an alternative paving
medium should be used to protect the
health of these trees (see section 1.7).
The total number of tree replacements will be no fewer than 400 trees within the current operating budget, in any one financial year.
v��� Tree Management Strategy Community Land Management Plans: Tree managementTree Management Strategy
A tree is one of the noblest works of
nature. It has been said, ‘A home without
trees is cheerless; a road without trees
is shadeless; a park without trees is
purposeless; and a country without trees
is hopeless.’
The appearance and quality of our urban
environment is improved considerably by
the presence of trees. Trees soften harsh
lines of paving and kerbs, screen stobie
poles and protect water tables. They provide
welcome shade in summer and vital habitat
for birds and other wildlife. Trees enhance
architecture. There are few buildings that do
not look better in the presence of suitable
trees. Trees soften the current style of
modern buildings which display plain facades,
narrow eaves and large windows. They can
screenunsightlyproperties,muffletraffic
noise and help to purify air polluted by
motor vehicles and industry.
The City of Burnside is well endowed
with street and park trees in comparison
with most other Adelaide municipalities.
Streetscape quality is highly valued by
residents and contributes directly to the
amenity of the City through:
aesthetic improvement
climaticmodification
wildlife habitats
economicbenefits
healthy environment
social well-being.
Trees can be seen in terms of their
economicbenefittotheCity.Usingthe
modifiedBurnleyMethodoftreevaluation,
an average tree of medium size (two
metres in height by one metre in spread)
at a purchase price of approximately $100
and with a remaining life expectancy of 30
years will reach an overall value at maturity
of approximately $40 000. It is estimated
that with a street tree population of more
than 29 000 the City has an asset valued at
over $90 million. If an individual street tree
lives to an average age of 40–50 years and
develops to its full potential, the asset value
of the entire tree stock rises to over $120
million. Arguably, trees are the City’s greatest
single asset in monetary terms alone.
Council is now concerned with how best
to maintain and improve this feature of
the City’s streetscape. Many of the best
specimens were planted in the early part of
the last century; they are now past maturity
and beginning their decline phase. Most
≠

species of urban trees of southern Australia
have a natural lifespan of between 50 to
60 years. However, as the ground beneath
the tree is covered with asphalt or the tree
is subjected to high levels of air pollutants,
extreme temperatures, restricted water or
vandalism, its average life as a productively
aesthetic tree can be as little as 40 years
before declining.
Much of the urban forest in Australia
stillconsistsofthefirstcropofplanted
trees. Few people have ever witnessed
the wholesale ageing and death of large
numbers of trees in our streets and parks.
For this reason people tend to believe
that decisions on tree management or
replacement can be deferred to future
generations. For some, tree removal triggers
emotional responses as they may associate
a tree with their childhood memories or
personal links to a particular area.
Good planning and maintenance is vital
for the safe retention of trees to provide
aesthetic, material, environmental and
ecologicalbenefitstothecommunity.

This Strategy provides a framework
for making structured, consistent and
environmentally sound management
decisions for all Council-owned or managed
street and reserve trees. It addresses recent
trendsinthetwo,closely-linkedfieldsoftree
management and risk management.
The arboriculture industry has advanced
dramatically over the past ten years. Many
traditional practices have been replaced by
newer tree-management techniques. Risk
management has also become an important
consideration. These changes create a need
to review and amend existing practices
and procedures.
The objectives of the City of Burnside Tree
Management Strategy are to:
promote good tree management
throughout the City

STREET.TREE.AudITS:.A.STRATEGy..
FOR.FuTuRE.GENERATIONS
In 1991 Council undertook a survey of
all streets within the City and rated the
street trees to determine their health, form
and condition. The results of that survey
led to the Second Generation Street Tree
Replacement Program (SGSTRP), which has
directed all replacement programs since.
(The survey did not include trees within
Council’s parks and reserves.)
In 2004 Council carried out a review of that
survey, to determine whether the SGSTRP
and other relevant management techniques
had effectively addressed key objectives.
These key objectives included:
addressing the problem of ageing tree
stock by means of a tree replacement
program
improving management programs
increasing and enhancing the quality of
street tree stock
reducing and managing the risk associated
with street, reserve and park trees
developingandexpandingthefloraand

Strategy. In some cases a review of current
policies and work practices will be required,
particularly Council’s Development Plan and

The 2004 survey found that of the total
number of street trees surveyed, over
70% consisted of just seven dominant tree
species.
The remaining 30% was a mixture of over
250 exotic and native species, with no
individual species comprising over 4% of the
x�Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
... a declining River Red Gum can theoretically decline for anywhere up to 150 years ...
The 1991 survey indicated that 67% of the
total trees were rated as good, with another
17% rated as fair. Approximately 16% were
rated in a state of decline, mainly due to
age. Over 68% of the total population was
considered to be mature.
Suburbs with the highest numbers of
trees in decline included Hazelwood Park,
Dulwich, Rosslyn Park and Kensington
Gardens.
Approximately 66% of the trees did not
require any form of pruning, with the
majority of those that did need maintenance
requiring only dead-wooding and canopy-
lifting to clear the road and footpath areas.
Over 1500 trees needed immediate
replacement and over 2000 within the
following ten years. Over 50% of the total
number of trees surveyed at the time did
not need to be replaced for another 20
years or more.
Review.of.the.2004.survey
The survey showed that tree management
practices, improved watering regimes,
and proactive juvenile tree maintenance
programshavesignificantlyimproved
since the 1991 survey. Improved tree
management programs have had a positive
effect on overall street tree health.
The 1991 survey did not undertake an
in-depth review of tree management
techniques and the potential to retain trees
in decline. By contrast, the 2004 survey has,
significantly,ratedmorethan70%ofthe
trees as having a projected life expectancy
of greater than 20 years.
It is interesting to note that the term
‘declining’ is used in the 1991 survey quite
generally. From a strict arboricultural point
of view, a ‘declining’ tree is a tree that is

senescent: one that has begun its decline
from maturity. This usually implies that the
tree has reached its maximum growth
height and spread, with a receding canopy
countering any new growth. The overall
result is a canopy width and spread that
begins to reduce in size, with the proportion
of dead wood increasing. For instance a
declining River Red Gum can theoretically
decline for anywhere up to 150 years, given
it has a projected life expectancy of 400
years, and may only reach maturity after
100 years. The 1991 survey implied that a
declining tree is a poor tree and in need of
replacement. In fact, over 50% of trees did
not need to be replaced for over 20 years
and it can be assumed that the condition of
the majority would be sound although with
a declining health status.
The 2004 survey expanded the criteria for
judging tree health. The criteria included:
the percentage of dead wood as opposed
to live growth
new shoot ratio (new growth compared
to old growth)
structural soundness of the tree
whether the tree required remedial
pruning.
In all cases, the assessment of the tree was
based on safety, safe-life expectancy, and a
projected life expectancy if remedial works
were undertaken.

Trees in wider verges are generally healthier and more vigorous than trees in narrow verges, or surrounded by paving.
The City is well serviced by wide verges
for one, because of the presence of many
remnant trees within private and public
road reserves.
The 2004 survey indicates that the
percentage of street tree ‘gaps’ has dropped
markedly from the 1991 survey and is now
down to 1% of the total number of available

1.2.VERGE.WIdTh
Comparative estimates for neighbouring
councils indicate that the City is well
serviced by wide verges, providing ample
opportunity to expand the street tree
species ‘palette’. However, in the future,
continued water restrictions will be
inevitableandthesewillhaveasignificant
impact on the nature and quality of verge
plantings.
The median verge width across the city
is as follows:
25% were <1.5 metres wide
54% were 1.5–3 metres wide
21% were >3 metres wide.
The suburbs of Beulah Park, Frewville,
Eastwood, Glen Osmond and Kensington
Park contain the highest number of
narrow verges, while Beaumont, Burnside,
Hazelwood Park, Kensington Gardens,
Magill and Rosslyn Park have the highest
proportion of verges over three metres in
width.
The most common verge width is 1.5–3
metres. This is adequate for good tree
planting in most conditions. However,
verges exceeding three metres in width
are the most suitable for tree planting, with
a relatively generous unpaved area under
the main canopy of the tree. Streets with
verges of less than 1.5 metres, or lacking

nature strips altogether, still present an area
of concern for the long term retention of
street trees.
The width of a verge has a direct effect on
a street tree’s performance. Trees in wider
verges are generally healthier and more
vigorous than trees in narrow verges, or
surrounded by paving. Sealed surfaces, such
asbrickorbitumenpaving,significantly
reduce the percolation of natural moisture
down to the main feeder roots of the tree.
A high proportion of trees growing in
narrowconfinedvergesareeitherstunted
or under stress, and have a lower tolerance
to prolonged drought.
Streets containing damaged infrastructure
are generally those with the narrowest verge
width. A high proportion of such streets
contain semi-mature street tree plantings.
The ongoing maintenance needs of these
streets will rise as their trees mature.
Conversely, on those streets where the
verge width is greater, an increased level
of competition from invasive turf grasses,
such as kikuyu and couch grass, can have
a negative impact on the establishment
ofyoungtreesinthefirstfivetoseven
years. This issue can be addressed with
appropriate maintenance.
There are many streets within Magill, Beulah
Park, Auldana and Skye that do not contain
any form of verge treatment other than
abasicfinelayerofdolomiteorgravel,in
which most street trees have grown very
well in the initial growth period, as long as a

14 Key initiatives arising from the 2004 surveyTree Management Strategy
Young trees require water bowls
Careful planning and improved tree
species selection has reduced the incidence
of ongoing and expensive infrastructure
damage. This was often caused in the past
by the practice of planting trees within the
roadway or parking lanes rather than
on verges.
1.3.TREE.PLANTING.OPTIONS
Whereinsufficientspaceexistsinthe
footpath/nature strip area, but where the
actual street or road width is above average,
consideration should be given to the
creation of generous planting islands within
large dedicated verges.
Council may consider reducing car parking
to create discrete areas within the verge
or road reserve, to form stand-alone
garden beds. Alternatively, tree islands
that contain larger species and which are
developed along the length of the street
can contribute more to the streetscape
than small trees planted along a narrow
1.4.VERGE.SuRFACES
There is a direct link between verge width
and verge treatments, such as turf lawn,
gravel dolomite, bitumen and paving. Typically,
many grassed verges are well-watered
and maintained. However, it is unfortunate
that the percentage of unkept grass verges
is rising, along with a greater reliance on
Council’s tree watering program as the
availability of household water for new
trees reduces.
In areas where the verge width does
not exceed 1.5–2 metres in total width
(boundary fence to kerb) it is suggested that
all areas should be sealed.
Where trees are planted within a verge
width of less than 1.5 metres, they should
befittedwitheitheratree-gratesurround
or water bowl treatment that retains the
maximum footpath width but also allows
Council to supply the new tree with at
least 40 litres of water at any one time.

included within the cost of planting. Where
appropriate, ‘water well’ devices should be
fittedtoanynewtreelocatedinaverge
where the creation of a natural earthen
water bowl may be ineffective.
Council promotes the sustainable use
of natural resources, and will investigate
alternative verge treatments that require
minimum watering and maintenance. ‘Thirsty’
exotic turf grasses, such as tall fescues and
bent grass, couch or kikuyu grasses, could be
replaced with hardier species of turf grass,
or with drought-resistant local native grasses
such as ‘Wallaby’ or ‘Kangaroo Grass’. This
verge. The actual percentage of total tree
coverage can be greater from individual
stand-alone specimens growing at intervals
along the streetscape than from numerous
small trees squeezed into a narrow verge.
Streets offering good opportunities for this
approach include Grant Avenue, Toorak
Gardens and Swaine Avenue, Rose Park.
Where appropriate, local indigenous tree
species will be planted in preference to
Australian native trees. This includes
species such as River Red Gum (Eucalyptus
camaldulensis), SA Blue Gum (Eucalyptus
leucoxylon) and Grey Box Gum (Eucalyptus
microcarpa).
On streets surrounding and leading into
major parks and reserves, opportunities may
exist to establish larger trees than would be
appropriate for a typical street frontage. In
many cases, local indigenous trees should
replace existing exotic street tree plantings
within expanded verge treatments. It may be
possible to widen verge areas adjacent
to the park or reserve to accommodate
largertrees.Thiswillalsoassistintraffic

could be achieved while maintaining the high
streetscape amenity that is created by grass
verges, and which is an important part of
the character of the City.
1.5.VERGE.mAINTENANCE/uPGRAdE
Well-manicured, lush green verges are
synonymous with the character and amenity
of the City. Ongoing maintenance of those
turfed verges has always been a shared
responsibility between Council and the
residents,whobothbenefit.
Unfortunately, current trends in summer
water restrictions have adversely affected
the overall quality of verges in the last
ten years. This has led to an increase in
the number of verges un-maintained by
the owner/occupier. There is an increasing
reliance on Council to maintain verges to
a standard that residents have come to
expect. The resources required to maintain
thisstandardaresignificantandaredirected
towards a task that could be considered
unsustainable and at odds with sound
environmental principles.
Decreasing levels of streetscape
maintenance have a negative effect on
the health and development of the tree
located within the verge. Poorly-maintained
grassed verges mean that additional water
is required for street trees; overgrown
water bowls also require a higher level of
maintenance to correct.
As a general rule, the costs associated with
establishing a turf verge, or a street tree
located within that section of verge, must
be borne by the resident or developer.
Council supports the establishment of verge
treatments that enhance the character
of the streetscape, but also believes that
such treatments must be environmentally
and economically sustainable. Where
appropriate, Council will consider and
promote alternative verge treatments such
as drought-tolerant grass species, structured
soils/gravels and various styles of
block paving.
1.6.FOOThILLS.VERGE.STRIPS
In many of the newer foothills suburbs
there is no continuity in the treatment
of the verge, (which is often treated as
an extension of the private property).
This produces a streetscape which lacks
uniformity and often lacks street trees as
well. A more consistent approach to tree
planting and verge treatment is required to
achieve a greater integrity and continuity to
the streetscape in these suburbs.
Individual streets within areas of Wattle Park,
Stonyfell and Burnside lend themselves to
streets without formal footpaths. Here, the
front nature strip/verge could be developed
as open space so that street tree plantings
could occur on both Council and private
land. The streetscape could be designed
toreflectthenativewoodlandcharacter
of the area and be actively developed in
consultation with adjoining property owners.
In areas where a formal footpath and
streetscape tree planting is not well-
established or possible, Council may
consider supplying, at no cost to the owner
of the property, appropriate tree plantings
that create or add to the streetscape appeal
of the area. Ongoing maintenance of the
tree would be borne by Council; there
Drought-resistant local native grasses can be used on verges.
Council may consider reducing car parking to create discrete areas within the verge or road reserve, to form stand-alone garden beds.

would, however, be strict criteria for where
the tree should be positioned, whether
within the verge or on an area close to
Council-owned land. Emphasis should be
placed on expanding the local indigenous
tree population, particularly within areas
such as Stonyfell, Burnside, Beaumont,
Auldana and Skye.
1.7.FOOTPAThS
Since 1997, Council has initiated an intensive
footpath replacement program to restore
and rejuvenate degraded bitumen footpaths.
Council is committed to replacing at least
one side of every street within the City
with a new, brick-block, paved footpath.
The installation and construction of the
footpath system throughout the city has
raised a number of issues regarding the
impact the program is having on established
trees within narrow verges, particularly
where the road reserve is less than
1.5 metres wide. In some cases the location
of the footpath in relation to large mature
street trees can also be problematic.
Excavation of the upper layers of old
bitumen pavement and layers of top soil can
damage the upper primary and secondary
feeder roots of the adjacent street trees.
Of particular concern is the impact on
Queensland Box (Lophostemon confertus)
and Jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia) species
within established areas of the City. While
every attempt is made to minimise physical
damage to the root system of the tree, the
long-term adverse impact of restricting the
availability of water to the root zone of the
tree is well known.
A developing tree is able to alter its
secondary feeder root system to exploit the
availability of soil moisture within the upper
soil horizon or the immediate area beneath
the pavement. Given that the majority of
surfaces around a particular tree are sealed,
there is a tendency for increased upward
pressure by the root system to impact on
paved surfaces, creating numerous minor
fractures of the paving. As the feeder roots
gather more moisture through these
cracks they expand, increasing the level
of fracturing to a point where a trip
hazard exists.
The nature and style of block pavement
encourages this upper root development
such that any root disturbance within the
bedding sand area of the paving will create a
sharpermoredefinedliporhard-edgetrip
hazard, as opposed to bitumen paving which
tends to fracture and buckle. Brick pavers
can therefore create greater trip hazards.
Recent trials of compressed, recycled,
rubber-paving compounds as an alternative
to block paving have shown an improvement
in the effects of tree root impacts in the
short term. The paving compound is highly
flexibleand‘moundsup’ratherthancreating
a hard edge of block pavement. This paving
medium is highly permeable, providing
better aeration and stormwater soakage
than traditional block paving. It is highly
durable, soft, and comes in a number of
colours. It is compatible with block paving,
but is almost twice as expensive.
The recycled rubber compound is a
relatively new paving medium, manufactured
from shredded car tyres and bound by
polymers that resist pressure. It reduces
the long-term effects of heavily compacted
subsoils on the feeder roots of the tree, and
because the tree does not have to ‘search’
for water, the potential to cause uplift is
significantlyreduced.
Where footpath replacement is required,
alternative paving options should be
considered where the closest edge of the
proposed pavement comes within 500 mm
of the base of the tree, and/or where
the trunk diameter is equal to or greater
than 300 mm at breast height. Within the
immediate area of the tree root system, i.e.
1.5 metres either side of the main trunk,
rubber, soft-fall paving should be considered
as a preference.
This alternative paving method will add
to the overall paving program budget, but
clearlythelong-termbenefitsofbettertree
health, combined with subsequent reduction
of paving disruption, make this option more
cost-effective in the longer term.
Council recommends that formal plantings
inotherwiseconfinednarrowstreets,such
as those within local conservation areas
(Beulah Park, Rose Park and Eastwood),
should be complemented by the installation
of heritage-style tree grates in preference

1.8.KERbS.ANd.GuTTERS
The number of gutters and kerbs directly
damaged by mature trees, to a point where
they may constitute a liability, has dropped
measurably from the previous 1991 survey.
However, the severity of damage appears to
have risen.
Council upgrades and replaces kerbs in an
ongoing, proactive program. During
pre-assessment, all options regarding
alternative re-kerbing works are explored
to avoid damage to senescent or maturing
trees with an expanding root system.
Alternatively, tree removal may be
considered as the best long-term solution.
The principle of retaining remnant, local
indigenous trees within road reserves
dictates that these will not be removed
under any circumstances within the kerb
or gutter replacement program—this
applies particularly to trees located within
suburban back-streets. As an alternative to
tree removal, hand-formed bitumen-based
kerbs can be created around existing tree
roots. Where the level of kerb displacement
stretches over long sections of road reserve
then realignment of the section may be
preferable.
All existing kerbs or gutters that are
displaced or damaged by an existing mature
tree will be removed by hand excavation
only. In certain conditions, existing kerbs may
be left in situ with new kerbing built around,
or entire road sections may be realigned. All
back-of-kerb excavations will be undertaken
by hand rather than by backhoe.
New, precast kerbing will be formed in
one metre sections, so that control joints
are positioned two metres either side
of the centre of the tree, and designed
so that these individual sections are built
with minimal compaction. The concept of
replaceable and detachable kerb sections
will then minimise potential damage from an
expanding tree root system.
Where appropriate, the kerb replacement
program will be tailored and structured to
match the Second Generation Street Tree
Replacement Program (SGSTRP), so that
an overall streetscape upgrade occurs. A
‘Streetscape Upgrade’ will include, where
necessary, a footpath upgrade as well.
1.9.mAINTENANCE
As trees age, they naturally have a greater
percentage of dead wood than live growth
if not maintained. The 2004 survey found
that while over 70% of the trees required
little or no maintenance, over 33% required
some form of canopy lifting, dead wood
removal and structured pruning. The current
pruning program has substantially extended
the life expectancy of many trees previously
listed for replacement within ten years. The
program is due for review and is discussed
in more detail in section 2.

mAINTENANCE.OF.NEW.STOCK.
Establishment and ongoing maintenance
of new tree plantings are critical to the
success of any tree replacement program.
Unfortunately, the 2004 survey indicates
that the replacement of ‘declining trees’
during the early 1990s has resulted in a
higher level of poorly performing street
trees. This includes many streets replaced
with poor quality Jacaranda (Jacaranda
mimosifolia), SA Red Flower Blue Gums
(Eucalyptus leucoxylon ‘megalocarpa’) and
Golden Ash Trees (Fraxinus excelsior ‘aurea’).
The 1991 survey recommended planting
semi-advanced stock, which would ‘maximise
their chances of survival, and to undertake
regular monthly watering for a three year
period, which would encourage deep root
growth and minimise subsequent watering.’
This replacement strategy failed to recognise
implications for such stock without an
integrated and well-resourced maintenance
regime.
As a result, approximately 5% of the
City streets contain trees that are poorly
developed,withgrowthratessignificantly
less than comparative growth rates
expected from trees planted in the last
fiveyears.Whiletheconceptofusing
semi-advanced planting stock as a quick
restorative approach to maintain streetscape
amenity is good, the establishment regimes
required are intense and rely heavily on a
watering and fertilising program that may be
beyond the capacity of a small Council like
Burnside.
Council’s replacement programs have been

to Council’s available resources has been

existing semi-advanced planting stock.
However, as a general rule, Council
discourages the use of semi-advanced stock
unlessspecificallyrequested.
A review of replacement stock size
is recommended. Streets with a high
streetscape amenity may be re-planted
with semi-advanced stock, while streets that
are poorly furnished, or are very narrow
in verge width, can be replaced with stock
that is less damaging to infrastructure and
is in keeping with the overall quality of the
streetscape.
All new trees should be fertilised with high
nitrogen-phosphorous liquid fertiliser twice a
yearinthefirstyear,reducinginthesecond
and third season to at least one application
of fertiliser in the spring period, until the
tree comes off the watering program. It is
anticipated that this watering and fertilising
regime will provide every opportunity to
establish deep root growth, trunk calliper
and crown development.
It is recommended that watering regimes be
increased so as to provide at least 40 litres
of water to every new tree planted, once
a week. Each tree will stay on the watering
program for a minimum of
12 months.
The volume of water applied to each new
tree planting will slowly reduce over the
three year watering program so that by the
third year most tree plantings will be self-
sustaining. This water regime is subject to
environmental conditions and this may affect
the replacement-planting program. It may be
appropriate to investigate contract watering
that could maintain the water regime during

All new trees should be fertilised twice in their first year
periods of extended drought.
The SGSTRP will be separate from the
interplant program and funded as a capital
initiative. Provision will be made within
the budget for its watering regime to be
separate from the interplant watering
program, so that watering requirements
do not affect the recommended watering
regime for new plantings.
20 The Complete Care Pruning ProgramTree Management Strategy
The extent of pruning undertaken on an individual tree must take into account the age, condition, shape, and form of the tree, so as to meet statutory requirements where possible.
2.The Complete Care Prun�ng Program
The Complete Care Pruning Program
(CCPP) aims to address and complement
previous Council initiatives for street tree
management and replacement. Under the
CCPP, all pruning work is done with due
regard for the age, shape, size, character,
condition and position of each tree. Trees
are pruned in a manner that is aesthetically
pleasing, so as to maintain the natural shape,
form and character of the individual tree
within the streetscape.
Many of our mature street trees do not
conform to statutory clearance standards
above footpaths, kerbs and roads. Given the
age of these trees, any attempt to prune to
normal requirements will be detrimental,
leading to heavy canopy loss and large,
intrusive wounds. In accepting that many
trees cannot be properly pruned, Council
acknowledges that damage claims and
liabilities involving such trees may occur.

Risk management and minimisation is
critical, but generally, Council will undertake
an intensive management program for
individual trees before considering their
removal.

and care of all public trees within the City,
but is not always responsible for pruning
practices on those trees. Contractors

Pruning will be carried out in accordance
with Australian Standard 4373, ‘Pruning of

Council staff should have, or be able to

The extent of pruning of an individual tree
must take into account the age, condition,
shape and form of the tree. Pruning has
to produce a well-balanced, safe tree,
while maintaining its overall amenity and
significancetothestreet.Pruningmust
also meet statutory requirements where
possible. The vast majority of city streets are
lined with either mature or senescent trees
that require pruning on a cyclic basis.
Up to now, work practices have not
always addressed the tree as a whole. Risk
management of failed, split, hanging or
dangerouslimbs,andresponsetospecific
customer requests, have been largely
uncoordinated and reactive.
A regular pruning cycle that addresses all
faults within a tree will minimise follow-up
maintenance, produce an aesthetically-
pleasing result that residents can be proud
of and, through regular management, identify
inherent structural faults of particular trees.
A senescent tree is unlikely to decline so
rapidly that it requires pruning outside a
four-year cycle. If this is not the case, the
tree should be listed for removal. When
undertaken correctly, canopy restoration
and rejuvenation under the CCPP will
enhance and prolong the life expectancy of
a senescent tree.

Council staff will undertake a coordinated,
cyclic pruning program based on a ‘palliative’
approach to tree maintenance. The CCPP
will be tailored to prune every street tree
(including remnant trees located within the
road reserve) in the City, over a four-year
period. The necessity to undertake further
pruning of particular trees outside this cycle
will be determined on a needs basis, with a
particular attention to safety.
The CCPP schedule will follow guidelines

of the Arboriculture Unit’s team leader.
Remove or thin dead wood greater than
40 mm in diameter at the base of the
limb, back to the nearest natural nodal
point—especially when it overhangs the
footpath or road reserve, or adjoining
private property boundary.
Remove defective wood containing
cambium-layer fractures or splits that
extend greater than 400 mm in length
along the limb, or those which transverse
the limb by more than 25%.
Reduce and thin diseased limbs back to
appropriate nodal points.
Where a limb contains internal cavities
greater than 60% of its total diameter,
the limb will either be removed to the
main branch or trunk-collar, or reduced
in length by one-third, back to a natural
nodal point.
Remove typical limb-shear tears back to
the collar- or branch-bark ridge in order
to contain any damage to one section.
Remove any parasitic plants (e.g.
mistletoe) growing within cavities, or
attached to limbs.
2.3.1.Emergency.pruning
Tree issues that threaten life or have the
potential to cause damage to property
will override the CCPP. A visual inspection

an immediate safety risk. Some events are
obvious emergency situations. For example,

or due to vehicle impact, will generally be
directed to the Quick Response Team for

report form will be attached to the request
and kept for reference, to be actioned
when the cyclic pruning program for that

2.3.2.Arterial.road.pruning.standards
Council recognises that symmetrically-
balanced pruning of trees may not be
possible when severe clearance conditions
are required, for example, on arterial roads
controlled by Transport SA. Many of the
City’s street trees lining arterial roads are
mature, and their canopy, shape and form
make it impossible to prune to statutory
requirementswithoutdisfiguringthetree.
On arterial roads, and others under the
control of Transport SA, trees shall be
pruned to meet statutory guidelines for
trees on a road reserve (see table below).
The measurement is taken from the edge

2.3.3.Street.tree.residential.overhang
Where a tree in a road reserve, park or
other site encroaches over private property,
andinresponsetoaspecificcustomer
request, the Arboriculture Unit will make
an assessment as to whether the canopy or
spread of the tree should be reduced.
In considering the appropriate scope
of work, the Unit considers:
the health status of the tree
the contribution of the tree to the
streetscape
potential risks to nearby residents
and property.
In consultation with the resident or
property owner, the Unit will reach
agreement on the extent of works.
Trees will normally be pruned to reduce
shading to private properties; to minimise
leaf-litter fall; or to address a perceived
threat of damage. In these circumstances, a

tree will be pruned if this is a genuine, long-
term solution which will not adversely affect
its shape, form and symmetry. The principle

create a well-balanced and safe tree.
To minimise the potential for resident
dissatisfaction with pruning undertaken,
the Arboriculture Unit will ensure that all
pruning is carried out in a standardised
manner. In exceptional circumstances,
a resident has the right to seek further
advicefromtheTreeManagementOfficer.
No street tree will be pruned back to the
adjoining boundary line without its prior
assessment, in consultation with the relevant
property owner.
Feedbacktocustomersregardingspecific
pruning queries, other than those handled
by Council’s Customer Service Centre, will

Pruning of Council-owned trees is not
permitted by anyone other than Council
staff, or agents acting on Council’s behalf.
2.4.OVERhANG.FROm.PRIVATE.
RESIdENTIAL.TREES.ANd.ShRubS
Council has resolved to undertake a
three year Footpath Vegetation Clearance
Program (due to expire in 2007–08) to
address the high level of vegetation affecting
the safe use of the Council road reserve.
Once the program has been successfully
completed it will be the responsibility (under
statutory obligation) for the owner/occupier
to clear the vegetation that impedes the
safe use of the road reserve.
Growth from adjoining private-property
trees, overhanging footpaths and roads, will
be trimmed and maintained to comply with
all relevant statutory obligations placed on
Council. Under section 254 of the Local
Government Act, Council may undertake
clearance of privately-owned vegetation if
it is considered an immediate risk, without
contacting the relevant owner or occupier
of the land in question. Under normal
circumstances, the clearance standards set
out in section 2.1.1 apply.
On arterial roads, trees will be pruned to meet statutory guidelines
Growth from adjoining private-property trees, overhanging footpaths and roads, will be trimmed and maintained to comply with all relevant statutory obligations placed on Council.

As a general rule, vegetation less than

it constitutes an immediate risk. Council staff
in consultation with individual residents will
identify, on an individual basis, vegetation
which is hazardous to pedestrians or
vehicles or which otherwise contravenes
section 254 of the Local Government Act.
If, in the opinion of Council staff, growth
is determined to be unduly low, and the
pruning of it may cause concern to the
owner or occupier of the land containing
the vegetation, then Council will request
the owner or occupier to clear the
vegetation. Council will notify the owner/
occupier of their obligations under the
LocalGovernmentAct,andasafirststep,
consultation and negotiation will take place.
No pruning of private, overhanging
vegetation, determined to contravene the

with an attached Job Request number. Even
where vegetation has been cleared as an
immediate risk, a Card will be issued to
the owner/occupier informing them that
Council has cleared the vegetation and that
further action may need to be taken.
All pruning work, including work that is
considered to be an immediate risk, will only
address minimum clearance standards and
will not exceed or intrude into or past the
boundary of the adjoining property without
the prior written consent of the affected
owner/occupier. If there is a requirement

2.4.1.hedges
The City of Burnside is noted for large,
stately, well-formed cypress hedges fronting
many residential properties. Unfortunately,
without continual care, hedges can
become overgrown and untidy. They can
grow to such an extent that re-training or
shaping them is almost impossible without
destroying the hedge. Council values this
unique landscape form as part of the
fabric of the City and will accommodate
overgrown hedges as long as the hedge
does not intrude into the designated
footpath area of the road reserve, or
present a risk to footpath users.
To enhance and promote the aesthetic
benefitsthathedgescreate,Councilwill
create a database of individual hedge
owners throughout the City, and will
regularly notify them of the best time
to prune their hedges, and the most
appropriatemethodstouse.Thenotification
will also inform owners about their
obligations under the Act so that they can
comply with an appropriate level of pruning.
Refer to Council’s Cypress Hedges Policy for
further information.
2.4.2.Pruning.young.trees
Council has invested considerable resources
into tree replacement programs that have
sometimes not lived up to expectations.
Many replacement trees were of such a
poor standard (prior to planting) that the
potentialbenefitsoftreereplacement
were lost.
Maintenance standards for young trees have
improved measurably since 2000. However,
these gains are negated by over-pruning
young trees too early. Appropriate tree
species selection and positioning avoids the
need to undertake formative pruning of
young trees.
Maintenance pruning will not occur on
youngtreeswithinthefirsttwoyears
of planting. Formative pruning will be
undertaken to address branching deformities
that arise from growth under nursery
conditions, but where possible, all tree stock
must comply with NATSPEC.
Council will only prune young trees
to address:
crossing internal branches
rubbing branches
potential double or co-dominant leaders
split/damaged limbs
suppression of dominant laterals that
unbalance the shape of the tree
formative shaping of the tree if growing
under overhead powerlines.

2.4.3.damages.or.Claims
Council is responsible for both the
management of street trees and of the
infrastructure within the road reserve.
A formal recognition of the value that
trees have within the overall streetscape
dictates the level of liability Council is
willing to accept in regards to damage to
infrastructure and/or adjoining property.
In accordance with Section 245(1)
of the Local Government Act:
A Council is not liable for any damage
to property, which results from
(a) the planting of a tree in a road; or
(b) the existence of a tree growing
in a road (whether planted by
Council or not).
However, if
(a) the owner or occupier of property adjacent
to the road has made a written request
to the council to take reasonable action to
avert a risk of damage to property of the
owner or occupier from the tree; and
(b) the council has failed to take
reasonable action in response to the
request, the council may be liable for
any damage to property that would
have been averted if the council has taken
reasonable action.
Property owners or occupiers may make
representation to Council asking that
reasonable action is taken to alleviate the
damage caused by a tree planted in the
road reserve. However, if it can be shown
that Council has indeed taken all reasonable
action, including tree pruning, tree-root
pruning, realignment of paving or, as a last
resort, tree removal, then Council’s liability
will be determined with reference to the
Local Government Mutual Liability Scheme.
Claims of damages due to Council-managed
trees will not be addressed unless that claim
is made in writing. All potential claims for
injury and/or damages are to be directed to
Council’sRiskManagementOfficer.
No Council staff will admit or support
the success or otherwise of a potential
claim made against Council. All reference
and or correspondence with regard to a
claim made against Council will be through
Council’sRiskManagementOfficer.
TheOfficerwill,whererequired,carryout
an investigation of the issue including all
actions taken preceding the claim. To this
end, Council staff will maintain a complete
record of all actions taken with regard to
specificcustomerrequests.Asaminimum,
all actions taken on trees under the control
and management of Council will be
recorded. Council will create a draft Tree
Action Report Form.
Unfortunately, the number of narrow road
reserves within the City, and previous poor
treeselectionandplacement,significantly
raises the potential for ongoing liability
for damage to adjacent private residential
property.
Root pruning is generally discouraged
2.4.4.Root.control.and.pruning
Root pruning is generally discouraged as a
method of alleviating damage to adjoining
property, such as infrastructure uplift or
service-line disturbance. This is because the
long-term implications of sustained and
heavy root pruning are unknown.
Root pruning will only be undertaken
when an obvious, positive outcome can be
achieved without any long-term harm to
the tree. Council will perform root pruning
on any tree for as long as practical before
removal is considered.
Where appropriate, and preceding any
potential damages claim, Council will
undertake repair to the pedestrian footpath
and driveway crossover sections where
damage can be attributed to a street tree,
or a tree located in the road reserve.
Where possible, Council staff will inspect the
damage to the pavement and undertake
the following:
27Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
Lift all bitumen and/or block paving
within the root zone of the tree (without
damaging any secondary roots).
Cleanly cut roots with a diameter of less
than 40 mm back to the nearest nodal
point of the root, or to an extent that
removes the offending section of root.
Cleanly cut roots with a diameter greater
than 40 mm after inspection by, and
approvalof,theTreeManagementOfficer.
Consider, if in the opinion of the Tree
ManagementOfficertherootcannotbe
removed without affecting the health or
stability of the tree, an alternative option,
e.g. re-grading the pavement to suit.
Refrain from cutting roots when the
overall health and stability of the tree is in
question, and instead consider, when the
extent of root intrusion or disturbance is
significant,theremovalofthetree.
Consider the installation of root control
barriers, as long as the installation will not
affect the health and stability of the tree.

2.4.5.Pruning.of.remnant.tree.vegetation
The City of Burnside is well known for the
quality and quantity of remnant indigenous
trees growing within its major parks and
reserves. There are many such trees also
within the Council road reserve. These
trees enhance the character and amenity
of the City.
In the past, Council resources and
previous management programs may have
concentrated an inappropriate level of
resources on traditional street tree plantings,
in line with the perception that the well-
established avenues are the dominant and
most visible aspect to the city character.
Under the CCPP, the remnant trees growing
within the road reserve are to be managed
no differently than existing street trees in
principle. However, some of the technical
skills, pruning techniques and resources
required to undertake the work are
different.
In many remnant trees, structural
deficienciesarenotalwaysobviousandonly
become apparent when catastrophic failures
occur. New techniques clearly indicate that
most of the local indigenous trees have
structuralflawsthatcanbeassessedand
managedproactively,therebysignificantly
reducing and addressing risk management
issues in the future.
Under the CCPP, management techniques
willbetechnicallyandfinanciallyflexibleto
appropriately manage the remnant trees
located in the road reserve.
Current resources are inadequate for the
appropriate management of Council-owned
remnant tree stocks within the road reserve,
and additional resources may need to be
committed to this area of tree management
to adequately address the aging remnant
tree population in the city. A database of
remnant trees growing within the road
reserve will be created, detailing structural
deficiencies,maintenancerequirements
and a priority based management plan
that details what resources are required to
minimize risk and promote good health.
Trees shall be pruned to meet statutory guidelines for trees on a road reserve.

2.4.6..Tree.replacement.in..

At present, Council does not have any
formal proactive management systems in
place to address the gradual degradation of
its remnant and mature tree stocks within
parks and reserves. Replacement programs
haveusuallyconsistedofminorinfilland
haphazard plantings that are poorly-
maintained and sub-standard.
While many of the City’s popular and
historicallysignificantreservesarewell-treed
and aesthetically pleasing, they won’t remain
this way forever. In particular, individual trees
within these reserves are degrading to the
point where they present an increasing risk
and liability to the community.
Individual trees are declining
Along with the development of Community
Land Management Plans and Master Plans
for each park and reserve (see section 7),
there will be a long-term strategic approach
to their replacement plantings. As an initial
step towards this goal, Council will endorse
the development of a structured tree
replacement program that is based on
maintaining the current tree coverage within
each reserve, and to expand the total tree
coverage over the entire parks and reserves
network by at least 20 per cent within the
next ten years. Greater emphasis will be
placed on promoting and planting local
indigenous trees in preference to Australian
native trees.
Amajorbenefitwillbethecreationofsome
linkage between the parks and reserves,
with local indigenous trees forming effective
‘wildlife corridors’ as a haven for native
floraandfauna.
2.5.ETSA.VEGETATION.LINE..
CLEARANCE.PROGRAm
The issue of vegetation line clearance
has been an emotionally-charged issue
between Council, its residents and the
Electricity Trust of South Australia (ETSA)
for some time. In 1999 ETSA’s pruning
programwasmodified,anditsoverall
effect on the amenity, structure and life
expectancy of street trees has improved.
However, the general consensus is that the
pruning program—whichever method is
used—is still detrimental. Council believes
that ongoing management and review of
the Vegetation Line Clearance Program
is required, particularly as the current
agreement is scheduled to expire in 2006.
Thepreviouspracticeof‘flattopping’
mature street trees is now a thing of the
past. However, there are some re-growth
and recovery problems, particularly when
trees are not accustomed to cyclic pruning.
The new style of line-clearance pruning is
dramatically different from past practices,
and it will take several years for the trees to
become accustomed to this new style and
resume normal growth patterns.
Given that the level of mature tree stock
within the City is high, but will reduce
over the next 20–30 years, a proactive,
strategic approach to tree management will
significantlyreducethetraditionalproblems
of line clearance. However, where mature
tree stocks are healthy and growing (but
intrudesignificantlyonhigh-voltagepower
lines), Council needs to take an active role in
their pruning management.
29Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
It is recommended that Council commit
an annual allocation of funds to install
‘Alternative Electrical Conductor Design’
options within streetscapes that have
significantmaturetreestockswithongoing
line clearance programs. To achieve this, a
priority-based database of streets suitable
for these options will be created within the
next two years.
ETSA Utilities are responsible for
maintaining electrical supply to all its key
users, and thus the control of vegetation
within power lines is now more than just
a safety issue for the authority—it is an
economic one, and as such is subject to
the vagaries of economic rationalisation
and privatisation. Hence, ETSA Utilities
are seeking innovative and cost-effective
methods for handling ongoing vegetation
clearance.
Currently, ETSA Utilities is responsible for
all aspects of vegetation line clearance
workwithintheCity.Anyfinancialcostsare
borne by ETSA Utilities. However, they are
in continual negotiation with the Council
regarding the severity and frequency of
line clearance, and would clearly regard
favourably any program or policy that shifts
the work of vegetation clearance back onto
Council.
2.5.1.Self-management.by.Council?
At present the City of Unley (along with
a few other councils) undertakes its own
vegetation-line clearance work within
metropolitan Adelaide. ETSA Utilities
reimburses Unley Council, depending on the
level of clearance required. Ultimately, Unley
Council is responsible for all vegetation line
clearance within its area and is therefore
liable for risks associated with damage to
overhead services.
The previous practice of ‘flat topping’ mature street trees is now a thing of the past.
The City of Burnside could take a similar
path towards the self-management of its
vegetation line-clearance work. Initial start-
upcoststoengageadditional,qualifiedstaff
and additional machinery would be high.
Ongoing training and maintenance would
also have cost implications. However, self-
management of our tree stock may bring
benefitstothecommunity,andshouldbe
considered. As a leader in local government,
Council must consider all aspects of self-
management and regulation. These will
certainly be key drivers towards gaining
additional funding support through state,
federal and essential service agencies.
Asafirststep,theCityofBurnsideshould
foster interaction and cooperation between
eastern suburbs councils with a view to
future self-management of tree stocks
around power lines. A cooperative approach
that shares resources and knowledge and
takes back the management of trees around
powerlines is worth considering.
30 Tree RemovalTree Management Strategy
Removal of trees from verges, parks and reserves is potentially the greatest cause of conflict in the management of the City’s trees.
3. Tree removal
Council acknowledges that the removal of
trees is an emotive issue for residents, who
may form attachments to particular trees
over many years. Every tree, no matter how
insignificantitmayappear,hassomevalueto
someone in the community.
However,treeshaveafinitelife.Thedecline
in health of individual trees, or whole streets
of trees, varies according to their natural life
expectancy and growing conditions. While
professional, sensitive pruning of trees can
extend their useful life expectancy, in some
cases removal will be the only prudent
solution.
Decisions regarding the potential removal
of a Council-owned tree are complex and
require the appropriate level of planning to
be undertaken prior to any tree removal.
Any such request to potentially remove
a Council-owned tree by a resident or
a customer of Council must be made in
writing.
31Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
Tree removal is an emotive issue
Trees have a finite life. The decline in health of individual trees, or whole streets of trees, varies according to their natural life expectancy and growing conditions.
No potential Council-owned tree removal

4.2.1, section 5.
All dead trees that may be related to
a driveway crossover development will
be replaced, and as a general rule the
relative position of the new replacement
planting will occur as near as possible to
the previous tree. Under exceptional
circumstances such a planting may be
repositioned to accommodate the
installation of a new driveway crossover;
however, any changes to an approved
driveway crossover location will be
subject to approval by Council’s
Planning Authority.
Any new tree and new driveway
crossover will be positioned to provide
at least 1.5 metres setback distance from

typical transplanting practices. However,
transplantation must occur at the
appropriate time. All costs associated with
the transplantation and re-location will
be borne by the applicant. This practice
is not endorsed in general as changes to

amenity of the streetscape.
Where appropriate, alternative

3.4.STumP.REmOVAL
The following guidelines apply to the
removal of stumps:
Each stump is to be ground out or
otherwise removed to a minimum depth
of 300 mm below the surrounding
ground level. In some cases, depending
upon the size of the tree stump, further
excavation may be required. The
contractor is responsible for locating
existing services prior to removal (e.g.
electricity, gas, water, sewer, stormwater,
telecommunications or resident-installed
irrigation systems).
If a tree stump is not to be removed on
the same day as the tree itself, it is painted

All individual tree stumps are removed
within 30 working days of the tree
removal. Stumps in parks and reserves
are removed within 35 days.
Following stump removal, stump grindings
will be removed and the area made good
to match the surrounding. A follow up
will be done to rectify any subsequent
settlement of the new surface. Each
timeanareaisrefilledwithtopsoil,asoil
conditioner or fertiliser will be added to
counter the effects of root decomposition.
Any removed tree with a stump-cut
diameter greater than 500 mm will
be marked with paint, and a series of
illuminated safety cones placed around
the stump until it is removed.
Where possible, all verges will be
reinstated with turf lawn seed to assist
with restoration. In response to a direct
written request, and where the verge is
mounded to more than 100 mm above
the general ground surface level, Council
will sod-cut, remove soil to achieve a
level surface, replace sods and re-seed
as necessary to restore the verge to a
satisfactory uniform surface.

4. Tree Plant�ng
There are many considerations in Council’s approach to tree quality. Generally the aim will be to replace trees removed due to poor health or inappropriateness, though other factors such as the time of year and availability of seedlings are also considerations.
As a general rule, Council supports the
replacement of any tree removed. However,
the obligation to retain street trees that
enhance the streetscape is becoming more
problematic given a State Government
strategy towards increased medium-density
housing, which by its nature will increase the
number of driveway crossovers and service
provision requirements.
Given the current level of Council staff
and resources, maintenance of individual
inter-planted trees within an otherwise
soundstreetishighlyinefficient.Thestreet’s
amenity may not be diminished by the loss
of an individual tree. Further, establishment
periods for inter-planted trees within a
mature avenue planting are 50% longer than
for trees planted in a verge without well-
established trees. This is because mature
trees have established root structures which
maximise the absorption of any water they
receive. The mature tree can also cast a
shadow into the growing zone of the new
35Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
tree, which creates an unbalanced canopy
structure and can result in a weak, poorly-
formed tree.
Inter-planted trees are more prone to
poor form, have weaker and thinner
branch structure, and are less tolerant of
extreme weather conditions. They are also
more prone to insect or fungal attack. As
a result, the overall amenity of the new
street tree diminishes, leading to customer
disappointment—and, in extreme cases,
the death of the new tree. Ultimately, the
practice of inter-planting new trees in
mature avenues is ineffective and costly.
4.1.REPLANTING.SChEduLE
Trees are scheduled for planting at times
which maximise establishment and growth;
usually from the beginning of April to the
end of August each year, depending on
seasonal changes. The schedule for the
Second Generation Tree Replacement
Programwillbefinalisedbytheendof
February, including all relevant community
consultation programs.
Theinter-plantinglistforanyonefinancial

have been removed or listed prior to 30
March of that year. All trees removed or
listed after that date will form an interim
listing for possible replacement within that
financialyear,subjecttofunding.Theinterim
list for replacement will conclude by 30 June
of each year.
The inter-planting list will extend only until
the required planting budget has been spent.
If trees are removed after 30 June they will
be listed for possible replacement in that
calendar year, conditional upon additional
funding from Council.
4.2.SIzE.OF.PLANTING.STOCK
As a general rule, trees for planting should
be no taller than two metres in height
and 30–50 mm wide in trunk calliper (at
ground level). Tree species, height and
calliperspecificationswillvaryaccordingto
the supply of stock. No new tree stock will
be greater than that held and grown in a
45 litre container. Individual requirements
andspecificationswillbesite-specificand
will allow for variable conditions such as
verge width, existing service locations and
surrounding infrastructure.
Specially selected stock may vary in planting
size but will preferably be greater than 1.2–
1.5 metres in height at the time of planting.
However, planting stock may vary down
from this height as quality dictates. There is
a requirement and expectation that Council
should specify trees grown to NATSPEC
standard.
In special streetscape projects, planting stock
may need to be larger ; super-advanced tree
stock may reach up to six metres in height.
4.3.INTER-PLANT.quOTA
Previous records indicate that the total
number of dead tree removals has
been declining in the past four years as
management practices improve. The number
of inter-planted trees has also decreased
given the poor success-rate of inter-planted
trees within established avenues.
Where trees have been removed and
listed on an interim basis, all residents
will be informed of this and advised that
further investigation will occur. Where tree
replacement has been assessed and deemed
to be inappropriate, records will be updated
to provide clear evidence as to why a tree
has not been listed for replacement.
Council is not obliged to replace every
removed tree.
Replacement plantings in the following
categories will be restricted to suit the
level of available resources:

The Arboriculture Unit is responsible for
locating all existing services (electricity, gas,
water, storm water and telecommunications)
before the commencement of stump
removal or hole excavation. Appropriate
communication with relevant service
authorities is mandatory where the location
of services is considered to be hazardous,
and on all streets covered by the SGSTRP.
4.6WaTerbaSiNS,STakiNg.
ANd.muLChING
All new trees will have a minimum of
two stakes placed on either side of the
tree bowl so that pedestrians and road
users are aware of the planting. It is not
recommended that the tree itself is
automatically staked, given current standards
of stock quality. An exception to this may
be in areas subject to strong gully winds or
located on arterial roads. In these situations,
staking may be helpful for the initial 12-
month establishment period.
An appropriate slow-release fertiliser or soil-
conditioner is to be applied at the time of
planting. Mulch and mulch basins are installed
around the base of each tree, to a diameter
ofonemetre,andfilledtoarecommended
depth of 50–75 mm. Mulch should be kept
clear of the tree collar to prevent collar-rot.
The type of mulch material may vary. As a
general minimum standard, all mulch will
be a matured, well-composted material of
recycled wood chip or leaf, composted for
over six months.
The mulch and mulch basins will be
maintained for at least three years after
planting. Surrounds should be kept free of
invasive turf grasses and weeds, and annual
weeds such as sour sob and clovers will
be the responsibility of the Young Tree
Maintenance Unit (YTMU), a division of
the Aboricultural Unit, unless covered by
the pest and weed spray contracts. It is the
responsibility of the YTMU to keep account
of these contracts.
37Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest
As a general rule, all water basins should
be able to collect and hold at least 40 litres
of water at any one time. The following
treatments are recommended for each
verge type:
Grass: A clear, weed-free area of at
least one metre in diameter will be cut
and form the water basin for each tree
irrespective of the size of the planting
stock.
Block paving: Given the nature of block
paving, a typical one metre diameter
square water basin is not recommended.
Instead a water basin of a rectangular
shape is preferred and must in most
circumstances hold the equivalent of
40 litres of water. All brick edging will
be secured with a concrete restraining
haunch. Where appropriate, and in areas
where the verge width is less than 1.5
metres,allnewtreeswillbefittedwith
tree grates.
Dolomite/gravel: A clear, weed free area
of at least one metre in diameter will
be formed within the verge. The water
basin sides must be stable and not subject
to erosion over the life of the growing
season. To that end, it may be necessary
to impregnate concrete dust into the
shoulders of the bowl to retain the shape.
Care must be taken to not allow the
concrete slurry to mix with the base of
the tree bowl.
In those cases where an adequate water

As each new tree is planted, its location,

dRIVEWAy.CROSSOVER.SETbACKS
At or near street intersections, trees planted
on street verges are to be located nine
metres back from the projection of the
nearest kerb line of the intersecting street.
On major arterial road intersections, setback
distances may vary according to Transport
SA guidelines. Usually, arterial roads require
greater setback distances and have to allow
for street signs.

According to the Local Government
Act (section 232):
Whenever and wherever a tree is removed
and replaced, either through whole of street or
infill planting, any new tree planted will have
a setback minimum of 3m from the adjacent
driveway crossover. Individual plantings will
be assessed as to the current traffic loads
experienced on that particular street and
whether any variance can occur to this
minimum standard.
A variety of setback distances from driveway
crossovers, according to species size, is
required. Tree species for planting have been
categorised as ‘small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’;
minimum setback distances are suited to the
size of plantings, to achieve an aesthetically-
pleasing streetscape that balances street tree
size with verge width, and provides adequate
tree coverage to individual properties.
The mulch and mulch basins will be maintained for at least three years after planting.

40 Streetscape Planting StrategyTree Management Strategy
5. Streetscape Plant�ng Strategy
The City of Burnside is distinguished by its tree-lined streets. Jacarandas and other street trees have become synonymous with the look of many suburbs. Actions for these streets need to balance with approaches for indigenous flora of the foothills and hills face.
The variety of tree species available for
street planting has greatly increased since
1991. Also, within each species there are
usually many choices. Burnside is lucky to
have relatively rich soils that provide ideal
growing conditions for most trees. However,
follow-up maintenance is critical to success.
Species selection is governed by a number
of variables:
verge width
verge type: grass, dolomite, rubble
or paved
verge alignment: north, south, east or west
footpath location: e.g. hard to kerb, evenly
spaced
location of services, e.g. gas, water,
electricity, telecommunications

The City may be divided into three zones,
eachwithspecificcharacteristicsintermsof
appropriate species selection. The zones are:
residential plains; residential foothills and hills
face; and local historic conservation areas.
5.1.1.Residential.plains
In this zone are the older, well-established
areas of the City, where most of the
senescent trees are located. This area
is dominated by traditional plantings
of Jacaranda, White Cedar, Desert Ash,
Kurrajong and a newer species, Queensland
Box. The plantings are formal,
well-positioned and often date from the
initial development of the suburb. On the
whole, verge width is greater and there are
fewer driveway crossovers. Often, there
is excessive vegetation overhang from
residential properties, which may affect
the growing conditions of street trees. This
requires monitoring.
Future planting choices should maintain and
enhance the theme of traditional plantings.
Re-planting with the same species is an
obvious way to retain the character of the
area. However, there are some exceptions.
In the case of Melia azedarach (White
Cedar), Council has chosen to discontinue
its use due to inherent risks associated with
the berry that the tree produces. Fraxinus
oxycarpa (Desert Ash), another popular
choice in earlier times, is now a listed pest
plant in sections of the Adelaide Hills due to
its massive seed production, and will likewise
be discontinued.

5.1.2.Residential.foothills.and.hills.face
This zone represents some of the more
recently developed parts of the city, such
as Stonyfell, Auldana, Skye and Wattle Park.
While parts of the zone are well-established,
many plantings are relatively young and are
not due for replacement for many years. In
many streets there are less formal street
tree plantings, and higher levels of residential
tree planting on Council-owned land. The
percentage of remnant local indigenous
trees is quite high.
The area is characterised by steeply-sloping
sites and old drainage lines, with parts of the
Hills face including undeveloped open space.
Over-shadowing or disruption of views has
resulted in an increased level of customer
dissatisfaction with some street trees, and
has led in some cases to unsanctioned
pruning or tree poisoning.
Some areas, particularly Auldana, Skye
and Beaumont, suffer from inappropriate
tree selection, which has led to severe
infrastructure damage. Exotic species have
led to environmental problems relating to
stormwater pollution and woody-weed
infestations, (particularly in Auldana, Skye
and Beaumont). Such trees should be
replaced over time with species compatible
with Council’s policies on environmental
sustainability.
Suburbs including Mt Osmond and upper
parts of Glen Osmond, Auldana and Skye,
should be planted with street tree species
indigenous to the area. Fortunately, many
of the streets are still without structured
footpaths, providing an opportunity to
build strong partnerships with residents to
create informal but dense street tree islands
featuring local indigenous plantings. This
planting strategy is discussed further within
section 7, Parks and reserves.
5.1.3.Local.historic.conservation.areas
These areas are characterized by older
buildings, narrow road and verge width, and
traditionally small front gardens. They include
parts of Eastwood, Rose Park and Beulah
Park. These unique areas require specialised
street tree plantings. Unfortunately, many
streets within the area have been re-
planted with inappropriate species, which
have caused considerable damage to
road reserve and private infrastructure.
Replacementplantingsmustfittheunique
character of these areas, and residents must
understand that large, shady street trees
may not be suitable.
There are many streets in Beulah Park,
Magill, Frewville and Rose Park that do
not fall within the ‘historic conservation’
category, but which lend themselves to
similar treatment.
In selecting street tree plantings for this
zone, the following factors should be
considered:
mature height
mature spread
trunk diameter/form
overall shape and form of the tree
typical root form and spread.
The ‘historic conservation’ areas will include
some tree species that may not normally
be considered as traditional street trees,
such as Mop Tops (hybrid deciduous trees),
miniature grafted stock and even topiary
trees. Even planter boxes with small topiary
shrubs are a possibility.

44 Streetscape Planting StrategyTree Management Strategy
All trees planted in verges of less than
1.5–2 metres must be installed with tree
grates or alternative paving products, to
retain as much footpath width as possible.
In some cases, front setback distances are so
low that a traditional street tree planting is
not possible without intruding into private
garden areas. However, the strategic list
of replacement tree species is constantly
evolving.

STREET.TREE.REPLACEmENT..
PROGRAm.(SGSTRP)
The SGSTRP is applied on a whole-of-street
basis. By its nature, it involves the process of
treeremoval.Itisinpracticeadifficulttask
to accurately judge the life expectancy of
any individual tree when making a decision
toremoveit.Thefirstprinciplemustalways
be that if the tree cannot be maintained
to an acceptable level of risk or amenity
then it should be removed. Criteria for
tree removal, as part of the SGSTRP, must
therefore be clear and consistent, so that
all parties affected by the strategy are well-
informed.
A visual streetscape assessment will always
be undertaken to determine how the
replacement plantings and retained trees
will look within the streetscape. For any
street proposed as a candidate for the
SGSTRP, it must be possible to demonstrate
how the streetscape amenity will be
improved by the replacement program
withinthefollowingthreetofiveyears.It
also needs to be shown that the retention
of individual trees will contribute to the
streetscape rather than detract from it.
The SGSTRP will be considered as a capital
initiative, and will seek a budget allocation
from Council each year. It is recommended
thattheallocationreflectthetotalnumber
of tree plantings, with a component
dedicated to maintenance over a three year
period. The SGSTRP is to be considered as
a separate entity to the annual, tree inter-
plant program undertaken by Council. The
resources required to maintain large-scale
plantings are in fact greater than Council
currently provides, and there is a danger
that without an increase, the maintenance
problems of the 1990s will only repeat
themselves.
It is recommended that within the annual
budget, funds be allocated to:
tree purchase

tree planting by contract
tree watering

46 Communication and consultation guidelinesTree Management Strategy
An integral part of the Tree Management Strategy is sharing information with the City’s residents and the many other stakeholders in the wider community.
Our most valuable asset—trees
Council recognises the importance of clearly
communicating its approach to the City’s
most valuable assets—its trees. To this end,
Council has developed this Strategy, along
withaResidentNotificationCardSystem,a
brochure that doubles as a poster, and fact
sheets for selected replacement tree species.
All of the Council’s communication
products—including this strategy, will
provide all parties with the relevant
information about how these valuable
assets will be managed in the future.
One of the Council’s challenges is to be
open in its approach to tree management
and it is hoped that the development of
this strategy and association communication
products will ensure residents are well
informed on the city’s objectives, policies
and activities.

7. Parks and reserves
The City of Burnside is noted for its well-established and maintained parks and reserves. Hazelwood Park is a listed ‘local heritage item’ and Kensington Park was Don Bradman’s ‘backyard’. The City is proud of the heritage created by our forbears.
The creation of strategies to nurture and
maintain our parks and reserves is now an
obligation under the Local Government Act
and tree management is a vital part of this
responsibility.
The Act introduced the concept of
‘community land’, and nominated councils
tobecustodiansoflandforthebenefit
of current and future generations of the
community. Section 193 of the Act
definescommunitylandas:
All local government land (except roads) that
is owned by a council or under the council’s
care, control and management.
Council recognises community land as
an important component of the urban
environment, providing space for leisure
and recreation activities. It is a requirement
that councils have a Community Land
Management Plan (CLMP) for any
community land that they own. A CLMP
identifiesanareaoflandasacommunity
facility, and provides authority to control the

future uses, development and maintenance
of that land. It aims to balance the
preservation of the unique features of the
site with community needs for open-space
recreation facilities. A CLMP provides a
framework within which Council managers
can develop a balanced response to present
and future opportunities and pressures.
The Council’s CLMP establishes strategic
approaches and clear objectives for the
management and maintenance of Burnside’s
parksandreserves;clarifiesdirection,both
to Council staff and the general public;
and assists Council to assign priorities in
budgeting and works programming.
While there are at least 11 different
categories of community land in the City,
the main parks and reserves are of six
categories:
regional parks and reserves
foothills and hills face reserves
special feature reserves
neighbourhood parks
pocket parks
local sports parks.
Any future tree management strategies for
the City’s parks and reserves will sit within
Council’s CLMP and will act as individual
master plans. The diversity and extent of
community land administered by the City
of Burnside raises complex issues. Future
strategies for tree management need to
addressthespecificissuesofeachreserve.
To assist with this a template has been
created that outlines key issues for each
reserve. These include:
tree coverage and condition rating
special features
replacement themes
priority replacement: low, medium, high
risk management rating.
Where issues for a particular site are
morecomplex,site-specificCLMPsare
prepared. These areas include Tusmore
Park, Hazelwood Park, Kensington Gardens
Reserve and Kensington Park Reserve.
In principle, and in accordance with
Council’s existing Watercourse Policy, all
watercourse areas will be re-vegetated
with local indigenous species and managed
sustainably. All development sites will be
planted with local indigenous plants in
preference to exotic or non-local Australian
natives. This relates to Kensington Gardens
and Park Reserves and to Tusmore Park.

7.1.REGIONAL.PARKS.ANd.RESERVES
7.1.1.hazelwood.Park
Hazelwood Park is a Burnside icon
synonymous with well-manicured lawns,
large stately trees and one of the state’s
most popular swimming pools. The
landscape is dominated by large stands of
River Red Gums and SA Blue Gums. The
south-western side of the park contains
many mature, exotic species that date from
the early European settlement of the area.
The area was originally open grassland
paddock that was heavily grazed in early
colonial times. The State Government
handed over control of the park to the
City of Burnside in the early 1940s.
On the surface, the reserve appears to
be in good condition; however, many
of its trees are senescent, and present
significantstructuralproblems.Thereserve
is no longer an open country park, but a
busy event-based reserve, heavily utilised
throughout the year, particularly in summer.
Risk management has now become a critical
aspect for Council to address.
The condition of the River Red Gums and
SA Blue Gums is rated as average to good.
Most of their problems are related to age
and an obvious lack of maintenance. The
remaining trees, including the exotic mature
trees to the west, are in a poor state with
numerous previous wound points, high
deadwood content, structural faults and an
increasing level of dieback.
54 Parks and reservesTree Management Strategy
Given the serious nature of these tree management issues, the recurrent maintenance budget required to address key risk areas will be significant.
Most maintenance to date has been reactive,
stopping short of addressing wound points,
branch break-outs, die-back in the upper
canopy,andsignificantdecayorhollow
points. The level of recent replacement
plantings has not been high enough to
adequately cover for the period when
thesenescenttreesfinallysuccumb.Thisis
nearing a critical stage, with young trees not
sufficientlydevelopedtoreplacetheolder
trees as they die.
Given the serious nature of these tree
management issues, the recurrent
maintenance budget required to address key
riskareaswillbesignificant.AMasterPlan
for this reserve is a high priority. A budget
allocation in the region of $20 000 per
annum for ten years is needed just to keep
pace with the decline in tree health within
the reserve.
7.1.2.Kensington.Gardens.Reserve
Kensington Gardens Reserve contains a
diverse range of sporting facilities including
those for cricket, rugby, tennis and hockey,
with a large component of ‘passive
recreation’. The landscape is open space
with two major ovals, and numerous public
and leased tennis courts.
The area is an old drainage reserve
for Second Creek and the overriding
vegetation theme is large stands of River
Red Gums, small clumps of SA Blue Gum
and to the northern side, a more dominant
theme of exotic plantings. Most of the trees
are in average to fair condition with a few
rated as poor to dangerous.
The dominant planting theme should be
local indigenous species of River Red Gum
and SA Blue Gum. The ‘exotic’ theme
could be retained and expanded towards
the northern sections of the reserve,
where urban development is characterised
by exotic-type streetscapes extending
northwards to The Parade and into
Kensington Gardens Reserve. Where exotic
plants are to be removed, this will occur in a
staged process, balancing any loss of amenity
or character with good environmental
management.
Risk management of this reserve must focus
on car parking areas, playgrounds, sporting
facilities and BBQ meeting areas. Open
space ‘passive recreation’ areas are the
lowest priority.
7.1.3.Kensington.Park.Reserve
This area was previously known as the
Olympic Sports Field. Current tree
maintenance issues there are the result
of previous poor maintenance standards.
Recent landscape works have had a high
impact on the local indigenous trees
surrounding the northern section of the
new reserve. By contrast, upgrading of the
drainage reserve along the eastern side of
the park has had a very positive impact on
the senescent River Red Gums.
The exotic plantings are all over-mature
and nearing senescence, particularly the
established Moreton Bay Figs and Elms on
the western side. Replanting programs have
been adequate, but they have suffered from
poor follow-up maintenance.
Risk management has to address the
inherent structural problems with the River
Red Gums in both the western and eastern
car parking areas. Those in the eastern
sections are sound, while those in the south
and north sections need review.
7.1.4.Tusmore.Park
Tusmore Park is a heavily used, small reserve
within the suburb of Tusmore. There are
many aged, remnant trees within close
proximity to high-use areas, such as the
children’s wading pool area and tennis
courts. There is a small level of isolated, aged
exotic plantings towards the Stirling Street
frontage. Of particular note is the First
Creek watercourse that runs through the
centre of the reserve.
The level of required tree maintenance
varies throughout the reserve. Most trees
have a high degree of dead wood and
previous break-out points that have led to
increasing decay within the main trunks. This
raises the risk level where trees are within
close proximity to facilities such as the pool
and tennis courts.
A long-term management strategy will
take into account the fact that the local
indigenous trees are all over-mature, with
life expectancy varying from 20 to 60 years,
unless they experience catastrophic failures.
Theexoticinfillplantingsaresenescentand
in some cases dying. The balance between
exotic and local indigenous plantings
is acceptable.

FACE.RESERVES
The Foothills and hills face areas of the
City are unique, and have issues distinct
from those of more established parks and
reserves. Their management is a complex
matter. Unfortunately, many of those
reserves comprise land recovered from
other agencies, or land that has never
been considered to be developable. Many
reserves were once old drainage areas
and are heavily infested with woody weeds
seeded from other areas. In many cases

Management objectives for the hills face
reserves are presented in the Council-
endorsed Hills Face Reserves Management
Plan (1995) and the Auldana Reserves
Action Plan. Objectives are to:

gradually eliminate weedy species
restore appropriate indigenous tree cover

Achieving these objectives requires the
removal of inappropriate feral tree species
and the replacement and regeneration of

Residential streets in the hills face have trees
that show a mix of remnant indigenous
species together with various horticultural
plantings. Indigenous trees should be
encouraged, in order to create a natural
appearance in the streetscape. The use of
indigenous trees and plants on road verges
also ensures that nearby native vegetation
is not compromised by weed invasion or
hybridisation. Plantings on road verges
will be negotiated with residents as they
often treat the road verge as part of their
property.
Less developed roads in the hills face
are characterised by low housing density,
and are less affected by the planting
practices of adjoining residents. They

The special feature reserves are dominated
by three ‘iconic reserves’: The Common,
Michael Perry Reserve and Alexandra
Avenue/Prescott Terrace Reserve. All
possess unique features and are dominated
by distinctive tree planting themes.
Michael Perry is both historically and
botanicallysignificantwithadiverserange
of exotic tree species interspersed with
the occasional local indigenous tree. The
Common is dominated by local indigenous
species, with stand-alone exotic specimens.
The recent soft landscape works around
the base of the old Grey Box and SA Blue
Gums has been a very positive measure,
and will certainly improve the health of all
the old gums. Alexandra Avenue/Prescott
Terrace Reserve is a listed ‘War Memorial
Avenue’ and has both cultural and historical
significanceforitsresidentsandthestateas

Michael Perry Reserve is in dire need of

of its trees is very poor, with a number of
hazardoustreesidentified.Theareaisunder
heavy shade, and any re-planting strategy will
havetoaddressthis.Thereisalsosignificant
‘water-poaching’ potential from the existing
trees. A Management Plan for Michael Perry
is a high priority, to minimise risk and to
address the associated cost-effectiveness of
any replacement strategy.
The Common is well-maintained and cared
for by the Parks and Biodiversity units.
Current management practices must expand
mulch beds beneath all existing remnant
trees to promote correct microbial activity,
in this and other, similar areas. (A similar
technique is being developed and practised
in Heywood Park, Unley.).

Although Alexandra Avenue is directly
linked with Prescott Terrace as the ‘War
Memorial Avenue’, the overall condition of
the trees in Prescott Terrace, particularly the

must consider whether elm and oak are
appropriate species given rapid changes to

Although the trees do not present a
direct threat, they are situated within high-

risk, as the trees are either small, young, or

PARKS.ANd.RESERVES
Reserves and parks covered under this
section include a diverse range of areas,
from unique hills face reserves to large,
expansive reserves of over 35 000 m². Each
have distinctive features and uses and a
dominant planting theme. Tree coverage
within each reserve is eclectic and does not
adhere to an overall theme. This adds to
management problems, and complicates risk
management for the future.
Risk management priority rating is based on
such things as visitation rates, whether the
reserve has a playground, and the proximity
of hazardous trees to play equipment.
Replacement themes take into account
whether the existing vegetation is
appropriate for the area in terms of
proximity to the foothills, watercourses
or drainage reserves, and the nature of
surrounding buildings.
Prioritisation for replacement considers the
condition of existing vegetation and whether
the existing vegetation is in keeping with the
general character and amenity of the area.
Replacement of existing vegetation may be
staged over a 10- to 15-year period. Refer
to the table adjacent.
7.5.POCKET.PARKS
Many of these parks consist of small
allotments of open space that may contain
a small piece of play equipment. However,
they include Wood Park, Austral Park and
Allan Cousin Reserve—all large reserves
that would normally be considered as
neighbourhood parks. Tree coverage is
usually concentrated around the perimeter,
with stand-alone trees as a feature. Most of
the major plantings are old exotic trees with
relatively recent Australian native species
plantings such as Lemon Scented Gum
and Spotted Gum. Each pocket park has a
unique character, intimate landscape theme,
benches and picnic tables.
Replacement themes will result in a
slight shift from Australian native to local
indigenous, with exotic plantings continued if
they dominate the area.
Risk management priority is based on high
visitation rates, whether the reserve has a
playground, and the proximity of hazardous
trees to play equipment. Refer to table on
page 62.

7.6.LOCAL.SPORTS.PARKS
Areas designated for sport and recreation
are characterised by open space, sometimes
with closed-in sections for tennis courts.
Tree plantings are usually perimeter-based
with stand-alone specimens. Indigenous,
senescent trees dominate, with mature
exotic specimens interspersed. Replacement
plantings should enhance the diversity
of local indigenous trees, and slowly
reduce the level of exotic species. Risk
management is usually high to medium
priority, because all these reserves have
playgrounds, tennis courts or BBQ facilities
that increase the risk.

8. Significant Trees, remnant vegetat�on and veteran trees
Many of these large gums grow on private
property. On the plains, the characteristic
landscape features stately street trees, large
gardens and a blend of exotic and Australian
native tree species. A spreading canopy of
mature trees complements the unique and
diverse character of suburbs, and is keenly
appreciated by residents.

The Development Act prohibits the lopping
of branches, ring barking or topping, killing
or destruction, or any other substantial
damage to such a tree, including its root
system. Maintenance pruning, which keeps
the character, form and structure of the
tree and helps to retain its integral shape,
is not excluded by the legislation. Pruning
measures that promote the tree’s vitality
are endorsed, including the removal of dead
wood, failure points, and fractures or dying
wood, as far back as the tree’s branch-collar.
