Tree Mitigation & Replacement Strategy
- An overall average tree replacement ratio of 2:1 (two trees for every one removed) will be replanted within Stage 2 project limits;
- When tree removal is unavoidable, trees are documented based on size and species;
- In some cases where a large diameter tree is removed, a higher replacement ratio will be applied; and,
- Area restoration, tree replacement and greenspace re-seeding will be completed as part of the final works.
