26 TYPICAL LANDSCAPE SPECIFICATIONS SPEC - 01 (Version D) TREE PLANTING SPECIFICATION Prepared by City Design City Projects Lake Macquarie City Council All landscape works within the Public Domain shall be coordinated with Council's nominated Project Manager during the construction period. Lake Macquarie City Council - Coordinator Project Management: Kirrily Vincer Ph: kvincer@lakemac.nsw.gov.au CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS All planting work shall be undertaken or supervised by a Contractor with a current NSW Dept. of Fair Trading endorsed license in the following class- Structural Landscaping. SUBMISSIONS The Contractor must submit the following documents to Council's nominated Project Manager prior to execution of the planting works: Contractors licences in accordance with Planting Contractor Requirements above; Dispatch Tree Stock Inspection Checklists in accordance with AS Appendix C- Example A confirming trees conform to the requirements of the standard. Documentation (Soil laboratory test results or soil supplier's batch certificates) confirming that all soil proposed for use complies with the soil specification criteria below; or A statement from a qualified agronomist or horticulturalist certifying proposed non-conforming soils are fit for purpose. Manufacturer's warranty and maintenance information for all proprietary products. INSPECTIONS Inspections must be carried out by Council's nominated Project Manager at the following points unless otherwise indicated by the Conditions of Consent: Installation of any tree protection measures in accordance with AS4970-(current version) implemented at areas identified for retention/exclusion. Set out of tree pits complete, prior to excavation; Tree pits excavated with and prepared with regard to Councils Street Tree planting detail and specifications; Trees delivered to site and ready for planting. Note: if desired, arrangements may be made to inspect trees prior to delivery to assist in avoiding rejection due to poor quality (NB inspection will still be required on site prior to installation); Commencement of tree planting; Completion of street tree planting and other landscaping/planting, including installation of any guards/grates, and mulch in accordance with the approved plans. EXISTING SERVICES It is the responsibility of the Contractor undertaking the work to locate all underground services prior to the commencement of works. Locations of all services should be established and marked on site. (Note, the Council approved plans and specifications drawings MAY NOT indicate the extent and depth of existing services.) Establish the location of existing site subsoil drainage and mark on site. Contact Council's nominated Project Manager immediately if no subsoil drainage network can be found. DO NOT excavate by machine within 1 m of existing underground services without prior approval or identification of service location. TREE PROTECTION Protect trees to be retained in accordance with AS4970 'Protection of Trees on Development Sites'. Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) are to be established around trees identified to be retained in accordance with Australian Standard AS4970; A 1.8 metre high chain mesh fence is to be erected around each TPZ prior to works commencing and must remain intact until construction is completed. Fences around Tree Protection Zones must be sign posted to warn of its purpose. TPZs are to be mulched to a minimum depth of 100mm using organic mulch. Any excavation within the vicinity of an identified TPZ is to be carried out by hand, with all care taken not to damage tree roots. If tree roots greater than 30mm are found during works that need to be severed, they are to be cut with a saw (not ripped). A suitably qualified Project Arborist (AQF Level 5) is to be in attendance to supervise tree works on site during critical stages of construction, particularly when excavations are carried out within the identified TPZ of trees nominated for retention. Any minor pruning of trees must be carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS Pruning of Amenity Trees, by a suitably qualified Arborist. Harmful Materials - storage of materials, building waste, excavated spoil, cement or any harmful materials are not permitted within TPZs. TREE PIT EXCAVATION Excavate pits to the extents and depths shown on the approved landscape plans. Where unexpected ground conditions are met (ie. Rock, high water table, contaminated material) contact Council's Project Officer immediately. SUB-GRADE CULTIVATION Location: to all pits where sub-soil cultivation is noted on approved planting details. Remove rocks >100mm diameter from base of excavated pits. Apply gypsum at the manufacturer's specified rates to clay subgrades. Chisel, disc plough or use an excavator with a tyne attachement to loosen subgrade and mix the gypsum to 200mm deep to incorporate. Harrow to break up clods but do not smooth (leave the surface rough to accept topsoil) DRAINAGE Establish the location of existing site subsoil drainage and mark on site. Contact Council's nominated Project Manager immediately if no subsoil drainage network can be found. Install drainage layer or trench as shown on the approved drawings. Connect tree pit drainage to the site subsoil system as shown on approved drawings. STRUCTURAL CELLS Material: Recycled plastic rigid skeletal interlocking structures Loading capacity for footpaths: must be suitable to support a pavement designed to carry light traffic (maintenance utes, delivery vans etc.). Loading capacity for car parks and roadways: must be suitable to support a pavement designed to carry commercial vehicle traffic.

Discrepancies within the planting schedule and the drawing should be referred to Council's Project Officer for clarification. Trees ordered and delivered to site must meet the requirements contained within AS2303- Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. Dispatch Tree Stock Inspection Checklists shall be provided to Councils nominated Project Officers (refer to SUBMISSIONS) Supply: Trees are to be transported to site in a covered ventilated vehicle to reduce the effect of wind damage, transpiration and stress. Storage: If trees are to be stored on site prior to planting, ensure trees are protected from winds and construction site activities. Water each tree thoroughly once a day for everyday it is stored on site. Placement: Position trees as shown on the approved landscape drawings. Prior to placing tree in the pit, tamp the soil under the root ball to prevent slumping. If required, mound soil prior to tamping to ensure the top of root ball will be 100mm below Finished Surface Levels. Thoroughly water trees prior to placing in pits. Tree Substitutions: All proposed substitutions require written consent from LMCC. SOIL Backfill tree pits with soils specified below. General tree pit planting and mass planting: Equal to AS4419-(current version) 'Soil blend' with max 5% organic matter content. Texture to AS4419-(current version) Table l l- Sandy Loam. This soil provides a well-drained medium with low organic matter suitable for backfilling below 300mm depth from the surface. Incorporate composted soil conditioners (to AS4454) into the top 300mm of the soil profile. (Refer to FERTILISERS below) CONT. SHEET 02.
