(2) Landscape and aesthetic value
The object of this value is to identify trees that are of particular importance to the
community due to their substantial contribution to the surrounding landscape.
A tree may be considered to be of landscape and aesthetic value if it is situated in a
prominent location when viewed from a public place and it:
(a) contributes significantly to the surrounding landscape based on its overall form,
structure, vigour and aesthetic values; or
(b) represents an outstanding example of the species, including age, size or habit; or
(c) is an exceptional example of a locally native species that reached maturity prior to
urban development in its immediate vicinity.
Statement against the Criteria
This remnant Yellow box forms part of a habitat corridor through the suburb of
Harrison. It provides important habitat to a number of local bird species including
rosellas and tawny frogmouths. It contributes significantly to the surrounding
landscape due to its large size and location. It is an example of a locally native species
that reached maturity prior to urban development in the Gungahlin region.

Tree Quality Classification
Risk Mitigation
Regular inspections should be undertaken by a qualified arborist to ensure the
tree remains in good condition (Five-year intervals would be considered appropriate).
Minor Pruning or Major Pruning shall only be undertaken after receiving
approval from the Conservator of Flora and Fauna (the Conservator) following
consultation with the Tree Protection Unit and the lodgement of a Tree Damaging
Activity form.
Pruning work on a Registered Tree or a Provisionally Registered Tree shall only be
undertaken by a qualified Arborist with a level (IV) certificate or equivalent.
An arborist with certificate (III) in Arboriculture may undertake the work, under
direct supervision of a level (V) Arborist using current Australian Standard 4373
Pruning of amenity trees as a guide. Lopping is not permitted.
Ground works within the Tree Protection Zone of a Registered Tree shall only be
permitted after a Tree Management Plan has been put forward in a Tree Damaging
Activity application form and approved by the Conservator.
The Australian Standard 4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites and the
Tree Protection (Guidelines for Tree Management Plans) Determination 2007 should
be consulted in the preparation of the Tree Management Plan.
Replacement / Removal of a registered tree is permitted after notification to the
Tree Protection Unit and approval has been granted by the Conservator or delegate
of the Conservator either orally or in writing. Cancellation of registration can only be
considered if the criteria as set out in the Tree Protection (Criteria for Registration
and Cancellation of Registration) Determination 2006 are met.
Parking is not permitted within the Tree Protection Zone. Parking under the canopy
of the tree compacts the soil and can cause the tree unnecessary stress by inhibiting
the infiltration of water affecting levels of oxygen in the soil.
Penalties for breaches of the Tree Protection Act. There must be strict
compliance with the conditions outlined in this Tree Management Plan. Failure to do
so may constitute an offence against the Tree Protection Act 2005 which may attract
a court imposed penalty of up to $56,000 for an individual and up to $280,000 for a
corporation1.
