Attachment 2 Arboriculture Attachment 2 Arboriculture FURTHER INFORMATION RESPONSE – ARBORICULTURAL MATTERS The following table is a response to the items raised in the Arboricultural Technical Review Report prepared by Sean McBride of Treesafe dated 12 January 2015. Item No. Information Requested Response 1 Area of designation wider than surveyed. Treesafe to confirm scope of trees No further feedback/confirmation received from Treesafe relating to "scope to be surveyed (Protected, significant trees (i.e. eg STEM), other??). of trees to be surveyed". Adopting an assessment method such as STEM Acknowledge there are differences between initial site survey and current has been proven to be effective in the past with similar transport designation plans. Consider using STEM assessment for the identification designation projects in terms of identifying and subsequently mitigating the of “significant trees”. Point threshold to be agreed. loss of "significant trees". It is noted that in the case of the Mill Road corridor, that there are no trees within the corridor that are specifically scheduled or significant. Tree removal will be mitigated by the designation conditions which require preparation of an Urban Design and Landscape DWP (condition 28) which requires the following: a) The proposed landscape design theme to be adopted for the entire length of the corridor; b) Plans that identify any vegetation to be retained, areas of landscape mitigation and ecological enhancement planting. This shall include a schedule of the species to be planted including botanical name, average plant size at time of planting, planting density and average mature height of each; In addition, condition 35 requires that Auckland Transport minimises the amount of native vegetation that is cleared. Special care is required to be undertaken to minimise the loss of old growth native forest and trees at 38, 134 and 146 Mill Road to that which is absolutely necessary for the proposed works. Auckland Transport is also required to clearly demarcate the extent of indigenous vegetation clearance prior to its removal, under the supervision of the nominated project botanist. 2 Appreciate limitations of surveying from public land - way forward to assess There could be the possibility of joint site visits down the track. However trees on private land not visible from roadside. Treesafe to discuss with landowner approval for site access has been and continues to be very Auckland Council.

An assessment process will need to be agreed upon to evaluate such trees and at an appropriate time in relation to the project timelines. The assessment process will need to consider the overall condition of the tree, its current dimensions and the anticipated tolerance to the relocation process. Where it is not viable to relocate such candidates, for example due to the length of time the trees(s) will be in temporary locations, then a condition to the effect that the trees will be replaced with appropriate mitigation. This will be determined as part of both the Ecological Management and Restoration DWP and the Urban Design and Landscape DPW which requires the identification of vegetation to be retained (see condition 28). 8 Arborlab report 10.8 - Area for re-vege mitigation planting? Some areas A collaborative approach to re-vegetation can be adopted at the detailed shown on Urban Design/Concept and Landscape plans design stage whereby the arborist and ecologist can provide input for the landscape design team in terms of preparation of the Urban Design and Landscape DWP as required by proposed designation condition 28. 9 Arborlab report 11.1 - Review of latest Urban Design and Landscape Study As per item 8.

A further assessment of the tree stock will be required pending the Treesafe to confirm type of trees to be picked up provision of detailed design drawings such that the tree coverage at the (Protected/Significant/Other?) time of construction is accurately assessed. Condition 35.6 requires the clear demarcation of indigenous vegetation clearance prior to its removal. 12 Arborlab report 11.8 - Tree pit design in relation to 2m wide berm. Detailed design drawings are required to accurately assess the feasibility of Achievable? What about planting in less than 2m berm? using, for example, underground soil vaults for new tree planting. In most instance, underground soil vaults can be configured to provide adequate soil volumes in the majority of situations. 13 Arborlab report 11.9 - Tree Policy 2005 for species direction as well? The species included in 11.9 have been suggested for "Council's consideration". A review of the tree policy document can be undertaken to select species suitable for each location within the project limits in conjunction with input from the ecologist and landscape design team and included in the Landscape Plan required by proposed condition 28. 14 Arborlab report 12.1 - More accurate representation of tree number As per item 3. removals; including protected? 15 Mitigating methods for potential edging effects (outlines possible effect) Awaiting response from Treesafe.

However, these effects diminish with increasing bridge elevation, and given the steep nature of the stream gullies together with the bridge elevations it is anticipated that rain-shadow effects are unlikely to be manifest in approximately 80% of both bridges footprint. The project ecologist has 3 Item No. Information Requested Response advised that the shade-tolerant understorey will be temporarily exposed to additional sunlight during construction of the bridges. This is unlikely to significantly affect the understory in terms of dieback .The understorey can be monitored and if dieback occurs, replacement plantings can be undertaken pending detailed design.

We have been fortunate in securing for this meeting the leader of the Grevillea Study Group Mr. Peter Olde. We will meet at 10.30am at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens Princes Highway, about 5km south of Batemans Bay After Peter’s presentation, and lunch at the Gardens, we will travel to Moruya for a look at some Grevilleas growing at Mark and Carolyn Noake’s garden, and then participate in a practical propagation session. Please bring morning tea and lunch. Those wishing to do so may purchase lunch from the Chefs Cap Café at the gardens. As we will walk around the Noake garden, comfortable walking shoes and a hat are advisable. There is plenty of seating at the ERBG, but you will need to put in a chair for use at Mark and Carolyn’s. See page 2 for details of these activities Future activities Due to Easter falling in the first week of April, the committee is discussing whether the April walk will be deferred till the 11th,. More on this next newsletter Our next meeting on May 2nd, is another treat for members. We will have to travel a bit, but Fern expert Kylie Stocks will let us in on the secrets of growing ferns successfully.
