�� 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.

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:

tree planting

tree removal

private overhanging vegetation

non-conforming tree planting

Complete Care Pruning Program.

9..yOuNG.TREE.PRuNING

Young tree maintenance pruning will not

occuronplantedtreeswithinthefirsttwo

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.

11..REPLACEmENT.PROGRAmS.FOR.

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

theTreeManagementOfficer.Eachtree

will be assessed according to principles

of appropriate tree management and risk

minimisation. These include the following:

health

life expectancy

structure, i.e. fractures, cavities, splits

and deadwood content

form, i.e. weight distribution, leaders,

trunk taper/calliper

safety issues

damage caused or the potential for

damage

historical, cultural and aesthetic

significance

contribution to the long-term amenity

of the streetscape

likely responses to arboricultural

intervention

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.

ObjECTIVES.OF.ThE.STRATEGy

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

retain healthy trees of value

ensure consistency in tree management

across the organisation

defineCouncil’sresponsibilitieswith

respect to the protection, retention and

replacement of trees throughout the City

ensure that proper consideration is given

to trees in relation to developments

facilitate the removal of trees considered

to be pest plants or dangerous, and

replace them with well-selected species

that will be aesthetically pleasing and

ecologically sustainable

provide an educational tool for elected

members, Council employees, residents,

community groups, government and

other agencies

document procedures for risk

management

outline the tasks and actions that will be

undertaken by Council to incorporate

these methods and procedures into

daily activities

specify what resources are required to

achieve these objectives.

LEGISLATIVE.ANd.CORPORATE.

REquIREmENTS

The City of Burnside undertakes all

necessary tree management actions with

regard to a number of Acts of Parliament.

It is the responsibility of all staff to act in

accordance with the relevant Acts, and if

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

fauna of the urban forest of Burnside.

SuRVEy.RESuLTS.

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

... 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.

The 2004 survey indicated that over 4% of

Trees have great aesthetic value

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

spaces. Reasons for this include:

greater emphasis on replacement

programs

residents being more willing to maintain

plantings within the nature strip

more appropriate tree selection,

increasing residents’ willingness to

maintain newly planted trees

an overall increase in tree population,

which has reduced the percentage of

gaps within plantings

increased ongoing management of private

vegetation overhang

a subsequent judgement that a ‘gap’ is

necessary in the interests of safety on

the road reserve.

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

water bowl was maintained on the tree in

thefirsttwotothreeyearsofdevelopment.

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

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.

Theinstallationormodificationofthe

water bowl and protective measures will be

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

to any form of paving, within one metre of

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

initiated,andthishasbeenbeneficialfor

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 tree species are selected in full consultation with street residents, and choice of replacement species is as open as possible.

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.

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.

2.2.PRuNING.CyCLE

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

identifiedwithinthestreettreesurveys

undertaken in 2004–2005 and will be based

on the following factors:

extent and percentage of deadwood

within a tree

percentage of trees in the street with

high dead wood content

percentage of streets with trees showing

high amounts of dead wood

number of resident requests pending.

Trees or vegetation presenting immediate

safety issues will be dealt with under

‘Emergency Pruning’, section 2.3.1.

2.2.1Notification

The CCPP will be advertised to all

key stakeholders, including residents,

property owners and external agencies

such as Transport SA and ETSA Utilities.

It will be advertised on a biannual basis

through internal and external community

consultation. Regular information updates

will be provided.

The CCPP will strategically and

systematically address priority issues

throughout the City. Council’s Arboriculture

Unit will notify all affected property owners

or residents of upcoming pruning works by

wayofaresidentnotificationcard,which

will provide relevant information regarding

the CCPP (see section 6).

All outstanding customer requests that

have not been actioned previously will

be attended to within the cyclic pruning

program. Council staff will be responsible

for scoping each suburb, and will identify

all relevant tree management issues covered

by the CCPP.

While undertaking this scoping work, the

Unit will identify other relevant tree issues

such as:

private overhanging vegetation

non-conforming trees

possible tree planting options.

2.2.2.Requests.for.pruning

Any requested pruning work that is not

of an emergency nature will be carried

out as part of the cyclic CCPP. Customer

serviceofficerswillbetrainedtoaddress

and prioritise customer requests as they

occur. They will inform the resident of

when the CCPP unit will be in their area.

Such requests will be recorded in Council’s

Dataworks information/service system and

will clearly indicate a date for action.

2.3.PRuNING.PRACTICES.ANd.

STANdARdS

All pruning will follow these accepted

work practices:

remove lateral growth without tearing

or damaging bark

where possible make cuts to minimise

epicormic regrowth potential

avoid leaving stubs

avoidflushcuts

protect branch bark-collars or branch

bark-ridges from damage

service and maintain all tools, e.g.

chainsaws, handsaws, pole saws and wood

chipping machinery.

Guidelines for shaping and forming each

individual tree are:

remove dead wood to minimise potential

hazards to the public and property

remove all visible litter in tree and

around base

remove fallen limbs and branches

remove basal-growth suckers and shoots

(except on mature Grey Box, Eucalyptus

microcarpa)

maintain access, sight-lines and clearance

General pruning guidelines:

Pruning will accord with Australian Standard 4373.

Page 24: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

23Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest

Do not remove major scaffold limbs over

150 mm in diameter without the approval

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

will determine whether the tree presents

an immediate safety risk. Some events are

obvious emergency situations. For example,

branch drop from wind or storm damage,

or due to vehicle impact, will generally be

directed to the Quick Response Team for

assessmentandretrieval.Officerswillthen

complete a tree action report form and

supply copies to the affected residents. Any

further action necessary may be referred to

the Arboriculture Unit for emergency work,

or listed with the CCPP.

If the situation is not considered to be an

emergency, the customer’s request will be

referred to the CCPP. The tree action

report form will be attached to the request

and kept for reference, to be actioned

when the cyclic pruning program for that

suburb occurs.

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

ofthetrafficlanenexttothekerbline,

marked parking bay, or bicycle lane. Council

will endeavour to meet these guidelines.

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

istoundertakeonlysufficientpruningto

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

be provided within ten days of receipt of

the request.

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.

Page 26: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

25Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest

As a general rule, vegetation less than

30mmindiameteratthefinalpruningpoint

willnotrequireresidentialnotificationwhen

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

Act, will occur without issuing the owner

oroccupieraResidentNotificationCard,

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

to prune limbs back past the boundary

line,thentheywillbenotifiedthrougha

Any privately-owned tree pruned by

Council will be lodged as a job request

within the data works system and every

property will receive the relevant Resident

NotificationCard.

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.

26 The Complete Care Pruning ProgramTree Management Strategy

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:

Page 28: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

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.

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.

Page 30: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

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.

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

will occur without the prior written support

where appropriate, Council consent.

Potential Council-owned tree removals

attached to a Development Application

require prior approval by Council’s Tree

the applicant.

Any tree proposed for removal will be

assessed on the following conditions:

33Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest

The following guidelines will apply:

All potential tree removals associated

with new, private residential

developments will be clearly indicated

on all associated plans. The Development

Application will clearly indicate the tree

proposed for removal. Any Development

Application that contains a proposed

new driveway crossover will not proceed

without the proper acknowledgement of

Council’sTreeManagementOfficerand

TrafficEngineer,asperCouncilstrategy

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

the driveway crossover. All alternative

driveway crossover designs have to be

assessed and approved by Councils

Planning Authority. (It is not Council’s role

to provide advice on alternative designs.)

Driveway crossover proposals will have

regard to the maturity and trunk diameter

of any street tree that may be affected

by a proposed new driveway crossover.

Setbacks may be substantially more than

1.5metresforspecifictrees.

If the condition of the street tree is

declining and its life-expectancy is poor,

tree removal may be considered to allow

for the installation of a new driveway

crossover; however, removal will be at the

cost of the applicant and a new tree will

be re-planted as close as possible to the

original tree.

Semi-advanced or juvenile trees less than

three years planted will be considered for

re-location if the tree species tolerates

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

planting distances can spoil the effect and

amenity of the streetscape.

Where appropriate, alternative

arrangements that may include the

relocation or removal of a juvenile tree(s)

or a tree that may not be appropriate for

the verge will be considered. However,

in all cases the relocation or removal

will be at the discretion of Council’s Tree

ManagementOfficer,whowilldetermine

the appropriate tree species for the verge.

All costs associated with the relocation or

removal will be borne by the applicant.

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

withfluorescentpaint,orotherwise

marked, to alert the public to the hazard.

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.

3.5.REmOVAL.ANd.EXCAVATION.

Where planting holes are excavated by

earth auger in soils containing clay, the

hole sides are loosened and roughened to

remove glazing caused by the excavation

process. This exposes the root system of

the new tree to the natural soil structure.

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

Page 36: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

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

year will only replace individual trees that

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:

dead tree replacements

vandalised trees

inter-planted trees that have failed

individual customer requests.

Trees are planted at times which maximise establishment and growth

4.4.PLANTING.ANd.RECORdING

Council staff will mark (on the adjacent kerb

line for street trees and with paint marks,

stakes or other methods in reserves/parks)

the location of all plantings for the coming

planting season including those for the

SGSTRP.

Council staff will place tree markings

and will refer to the Tree Management

Officeronlyifdisputesarisewithindividual

the location of future plantings through

appropriate communication channels

including local newspapers and information

handouts.

All tree planting locations will be marked

four weeks prior to the scheduled planting

date. Any streets listed under the SGSTRP

4.5.LOCATION.OF.SERVICES

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

bowl cannot be guaranteed, a 600 mm

‘waterwell’devicewillbefitted.

4.7.GIS.LOCATION.RECORdS

Council will be implementing the use of

hand-held GPS palm pilots to record and

map all trees removed and re-planted.

In the meantime, the information should

be stored on standard asset-upgrade

information sheets and supplied to the Asset

ManagementOfficeronaregularbasis.

As each new tree is planted, its location,

measuredfromsuitablefixedfeaturessuch

as property lines, kerb lines and buildings, is

to be recorded. At the completion of (either

whole-of-street or inter-plant) plantings in

any street, Council staff will submit asset

upgrade forms to the Asset Management

Officer.

4.8.STREET.INTERSECTIONS.ANd.

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

overhead power lines

potential growth rate of the tree

5.1.1.Residential.plains

In this zone are the older, well-established

is dominated by traditional plantings

of Jacaranda, White Cedar, Desert Ash,

Kurrajong and a newer species, Queensland

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:

5.3.PROFESSIONAL.ASSISTANCE

Organisations such as TREENET, an

independentnot-for-profitorganisation

based at the University of Adelaide,

Urrbrae, are investigating various issues to

do with street trees. A current focus is on

tree species selection. TREENET shares its

information through an annual symposium,

newsletters and an interactive internet

application at http://www.treenet.com.au.

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

The diversity and extent of community land administered by the City of Burnside raises complex issues.

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.

Where existing exotic plants are to be

removed, this will occur in a staged process,

balancing any loss of amenity or character

with good environmental management.

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.

Page 55: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

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.

7.2.FOOThILLS.ANd.hILLS..

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

bushfireriskisamajorissue.

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:

conserveandrestorenativeflora

gradually eliminate weedy species

restore appropriate indigenous tree cover

develop other habitat

managevegetationtoreducefirehazard

and maintain accessibility.

Achieving these objectives requires the

removal of inappropriate feral tree species

and the replacement and regeneration of

indigenous species. The table below outlines

the existing tree cover in hills face reserves

and the appropriate tree species to develop

in these reserves.

7.2.1.hills.face.road.reserves

Road verges in the hills face area fall into

three categories according to the density

of housing along them:

residential streets

less developed roads

unmade roads.

Some roads display the features of more

than one category. Where road verges

containsignificantnativeflora,blueroadside

markers are positioned along the edge of

the verge. These markers comply with the

Statestandardforthemarkingofsignificant

roadside vegetation. There are nine of these

marked roads in the city of Burnside.

Page 58: Tree Management Strategy - City of Burnside · Tree Management Strategy Jacaranda is the City’s most common street tree Foreword Further review of tree management and work practices

57Our next generation: Burnside’s urban forest

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

7.3.SPECIAL.FEATuRE.RESERVES

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

Michael Perry Reserve is in dire need of

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

EnglishElms,issignificantlypoorerthanthat

of Alexandra Avenue. The overall strategy

must consider whether elm and oak are

appropriate species given rapid changes to

environmental conditions and the impact of

urban development.

Risk management issues, particularly with

Michael Perry Reserve, are very high.

Although the trees do not present a

direct threat, they are situated within high-

trafficpedestrianareas,andthisraisesthe

associated risks substantially. The smaller

reserves, such as Linden Gardens, Allen Mine

and Fergusson Park, are all rated as low-

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

located on the outer edges of the reserve.

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.
