Registration Criteria that presently apply, other criteria may apply after further assessment.

(1) Natural or cultural heritage value

The object of this value is to identify trees that are of particular importance to the community due to their intrinsic heritage values.

A tree may be considered to be of natural or cultural heritage value when it is:

(a) associated with a significant public figure or important historical event; or

(b) of high cultural heritage value to the community or cultural group, including trees associated with aboriginal heritage and culture; or

(c) associated with a heritage nominated place and representative of that same historic period.

(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

These trees are located on built-up urban area to which the above criteria applies. The trees appear to meet the criteria of 1c and 2a as defined under the Tree Protection Act 2005.

For the above reasons I am satisfied that the group of trees meet the criteria for inclusion to the provisional tree register based on their cultural heritage value to the community and their significantly contributes to landscape and aesthetic values within the suburb of Dickson.

Furthermore, I am not satisfied that the trees meet the criteria for cancellation of registration.
