RETENTION AND PROTECTION OF EXISTING TREES
In addition to their heritage and environmental attributes, remnant and existing trees contribute
significantly to the landscape amenity of an area and provide instant visual appeal in new
developments. Where possible, existing trees shall be retained, protected and incorporated into
the design of new developments. The retention of juvenile trees is considered equally as
important as the preservation of mature specimens.
Tree Protection Zones
Tree protection zones (TPZ’s) are exclusion zones designed to protect all trees and stags
identified for retention in a development. No works are to be undertaken within tree protection
zones. Boring for the provision of services/utilities will only be acceptable subject to proof of
feasibility.
Calculating Tree Protection Zones
Tree protection zones are defined by a circle, whose centre point is the centre point of the tree
at ground level and whose radius is equal to half the height of the tree or half the crown width
(whichever is the greatest) plus the tree canopy plus one metre (refer to SDL.2.01). Tree
protection zones shall be determined by a consulting arborist and pegged on site by a licensed
surveyor.
Tree Protection Zone Fencing
Temporary tree protection fencing (refer to SDL.2.02) shall be erected around the perimeter of
all tree protection zones and shall be inspected by a Council representative prior to any
buildings, works or demolition commencing on a lot, open space and/or road reserve.
Tree protection zone fencing shall comprise:
Treated pine posts with a minimum height of 1.8 metres (total post length) at every corner or at a maximum interval of 9.0 metres. These posts shall be sunk 450mm into the ground. Concrete may affect the soil pH level and shall not be used to secure posts.
Treated pine stays shall be fixed to all corner posts.
Steel star pickets with a minimum height of 1.8 metres (total picket length) shall be installed between the treated pine posts at a maximum interval of 3.0 metres. These pickets shall be sunk 450mm into the ground and shall include high visibility safety caps.
Ring lock wire mesh fencing with a minimum height of 1.2 metres shall be securely fixed at each post with wire ties. The fence shall completely enclose the tree protection zone.
High visibility hazard marker tape shall be securely fixed to the top of the ring lock mesh fencing with wire ties.
Signage shall be attached to the fence at regular intervals. Signage shall read “TREE PROTECTION ZONE. NO ENTRY EXCEPT TO AUTHORISED PERSONNEL. FINES
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 2 of 6
SHALL BE IMPOSED FOR REMOVAL OR DAMAGE OF FENCING AND/OR TREES” (refer to SDL.2.03).
Tree protection zone fencing shall be regularly maintained and shall only be removed after the
landscape pre-commencement meeting has occurred or until such date as is approved by the
responsible authority in writing.
With the agreement of the responsible authority, tree exclusion zone fencing may not be
required where permanent fencing is introduced prior to construction. The specification of the
permanent fencing must be to the satisfaction of Council.
Enhanced Growing Environment within Tree Protection Zones
The area within the tree protection zone shall be modified to enhance the growing conditions
and to help reduce stress or damage to the tree as a direct result of adjacent construction
works.
Specific improvements might include one or a combination of the following:
Ground surfaces within tree protection zones shall be left intact and a Glyphosate based herbicide mixed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations used to remove any weeds or unwanted vegetation.
The area within the exclusion zone shall be mulched with wood chips to a depth of 150mm.
If required or as directed by the responsible authority, trees are to receive supplementary water. The amount of water is to be determined by the consulting arborist and will be determined by the amount of disturbance the tree has sustained and/or climatic conditions.
Where severing of roots (greater than 50mm in diameter) is required directly adjacent to tree protection zones, the roots shall be cleanly cut. Where possible this is to be completed at the beginning of the development of the site. Roots are not to be left exposed, they are to be back filled or covered with damp Hessian.
The health of retained trees will be recorded prior to the commencement of works and
periodically monitored by the consulting arborist and the responsible authority.
Tree Protection Zone Induction
Prior to any works commencing in proximity to tree protection zones, the consulting arborist
shall induct all personnel involved in construction in close proximity to and/or involved in works
that may impact tree protection zones.
Construction personnel shall be advised:
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 3 of 6
Unless authorised by the consulting arborist or as directed by the responsible authority, no party shall enter into a tree protection zone or modify the tree protection zone fencing in any way.
No buildings or works (including loading and unloading, storage of materials, dumping of waste, vehicle access and parking or other construction activity) are to occur in the tree protection zone without the written consent of and to the satisfaction of the responsible authority.
The storing or disposal of chemicals or toxic material shall not be untaken within 10 metres of any exclusion zone. Where the slope of the land suggests that these materials may drain towards an exclusion zone, the storing or disposal of these materials is strictly forbidden.
Any trees that are to be removed next to exclusion zones are to be done so manually under the direct supervision of the consulting arborist (ie. cut not pushed). Stumps are to be ground and not excavated to prevent damage to trees in close proximity.
Tree Protection Bond
Prior to commencement of the subdivision, a bank guarantee for the amount of $100,000.00 (or
in accordance with the planning permit) shall be submitted to the responsible authority as a
security deposit for the satisfactory completion of the requirements in relation to tree
preservation and to ensure that trees are not damaged during the construction phase.
Upon completion of the subdivision works to the satisfaction of the responsible authority, the
bank guarantee will be returned to the developer.
Where it is determined to the satisfaction of the responsible authority that a tree covered by a
tree protection zone has been damaged as a result of buildings and works by the applicant or its
contractors, to an extent that it affects detrimentally the life, health and appearance of the tree
or its contribution to the landscape, financial damages will be paid by the applicant with all
monies to be used to purchase trees for planting on the land or to prune or otherwise
rehabilitate existing trees, all to the satisfaction of the responsible authority. The extent of
damages must be established through the appointment of an independent suitably qualified
person at the applicant’s expense.
Variation of a Tree Protection Zone
Tree protection zones can only be varied if it can be determined that the works proposed within
the zone will not adversely impact or damage any part of the tree including canopy, branches,
trunk and roots or the variation is required to minimise risk to the public and/or property. All
variations to tree protection zones must be approved by the responsible authority in writing.
Works within Tree Protection Zones
There shall be no works or encroachment into tree protection zones except for “no dig”
footpaths, mulching and limited soft landscaping. Lighting, drainage works and structures within
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 4 of 6
tree protection zones will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances and shall be
considered on a case by case basis.
All footpaths shall be pegged on site and confirmed by the responsible authority prior to
construction and all works shall be undertaken by hand to minimise disturbance to surface
roots. Boring for services through tree protection zones is discouraged and only permitted when
all other alternative alignments have been investigated and determined unfeasible.
Planting below existing trees shall be designed to act as a physical barrier to deter pedestrian
access into the tree protection zone when the temporary fencing has been removed, to
minimise weed establishment, encourage habitat values and generally improve the visual
amenity. Alternative permeable mulching (ie oversized gravel) below existing trees shall be
considered on a case by case basis.
All works within tree protection zones shall be documented in the civil infrastructure drawings
and landscape plans, or is subject to the written approval of the responsible authority.
All works located in or in close proximity to a tree protection zone shall be supervised by a
suitably qualified and experienced consulting arborist.
Hazard Reduction Pruning
Prior to the issue of the landscape Certificate of Practical Completion, all trees that are to be
retained shall be hazard reduction pruned by a suitably qualified and experienced arborist to
ensure the tree does not present an unreasonable risk. If necessary, pruning works shall
include:
Removal of all dead and diseased branches. Specifically, dead branches greater than 40mm in diameter (measured at the base of the branch) shall be removed from the canopy unless they contain hollows that are clearly being used for habitat. Due care shall be given to ensure the integrity of the tree as habitat for native fauna is not compromised (larger material shall be left on site for its habitat value).
Weight reduction and canopy thinning (especially for branches overhanging trafficable areas and fixed infrastructure). No live branches greater than 200 mm in diameter shall be removed from the tree without authorisation from the responsible authority. Remove no more than 20% of live foliage from any tree.
Removal of epiphytic plant material, wire and any attached debris/rubbish.
Prior to any pruning works being undertaken, the arborist engaged to undertake the works shall
arrange a site meeting with a representative from Council’s Parks and Open Space Department.
All pruning works shall be to approved arboricultural practices and have regard to AS4373 -
2007.

Tree Removal
Unless a tree presents an unacceptable safety risk or is a weed species, wherever possible the
tree should be protected, retained and incorporated into the design of the open space, road
reserve or lot.
No native vegetation, other than that approved for removal on the endorsed plan, shall be
destroyed, felled, lopped, ringbarked or uprooted without the consent of the Responsible
Authority.
Where tree removal is unavoidable, the following conditions apply:
Each tree nominated for removal shall be suitably marked prior to its removal and an inspection arranged with an appropriate Council Officer to verify that the tree marked accords with the permit and/or endorsed removal plan.
Prior to removal, the subject tree shall be inspected by an appropriately qualified and experienced zoologist to determine the presence of any native animals living or nesting in the tree. Should any native animals be detected they must be caught and relocated to a site deemed appropriate by the zoologist.
The project manager is to ensure that tree removal is carried out in a safe manner.
The project manager is to locate all services either above or below ground prior to the commencement of any works.
Stumps and any surface roots are to be ground down below ground level. Ground and chipped material to a depth of 50mm is to be removed from site at the direction of the project manager. The project manager shall supply and place suitable topsoil and seed the area making certain that the reinstated ground surface is level, even and safe.
All stumps not removed immediately after removal of the tree are to be paint marked with a suitable bright yellow reflective marking paint.
Stumps shall be removed within 14 days of removal of the tree.
Where ever possible and appropriate, native trees to be removed should be retained for use in core conservation areas for habitat purposes or reused in open space as urban art, park furniture and/or other use determined appropriate by the responsible authority.
After a tree has been fallen, the tree shall be protected from firewood harvesting via temporary fencing and signage to the satisfaction of Council until such time as the tree has been relocated for habitat or mulched.
All timber greater than 300mm in diameter that cannot be reused as habitat, furniture or another use determined appropriate by the responsible authority shall be hammer milled and shredded for reuse as mulch within the subject site.
All timber less than 300mm in diameter and branch/leaf material shall be shredded for reuse as mulch within the subject site.

AS4970 - 2009 Tree Protection Zones on Development Sites
Council’s tree protection zone guideline shall supersede AS4970 – 2009 and/or any other tree
protection zone standard/calculation. In this regard, Council’s guideline considers both the on-
going health of the tree and has been developed to protect people, infrastructure and property
(ie the shape considers the impact of falling limbs and delineates a pedestrian exclusion zone)
whereas AS4970 – 2009 only considers the impact of works on the on-going health of the tree.

Tree Protection Zone (TPZ)
NOTES:
The outer extent of the areas marked in red (above) indicates the Tree Protection Zone required during construction. The TPZ based on the British Standard is a function of the dimensions of the tree but does not take into account the typical non-symmetrical nature of many of the River Red Gums throughout the City of Whittlesea. The additional 1 metre outside the crown attempts to provide for this situation.
The TPZ for a tree intended to be retained within a proposed development is an area which is a no go zone. For the City of Whittlesea, the TPZ is a shape defined by a circle, whose centre point is the centre of the tree trunk at ground level, and whose radius is equal to half the height of the tree or half the crown width (which ever is greater) plus the tree canopy plus one metre.
This TPZ can only be varied if it can be proven beyond doubt that works proposed within the zone will not damage any part of the tree within this zone, including canopy, branches, trunk and roots. However, any encroachment beneath the crown should be avoided.
Any works within a TPZ will require written approval from Parks and Open Space and these works will be required to be supervised by a suitably qualified and experienced consulting Arborist.
Council's tree protection zone guideline shall supersede AS4970 2009 and/or any other tree protection zone standard/calculation. In this regard, Council's guideline considers both the on-going health of the tree and has been developed to protect people, infrastructure and property (ie the shape considers the impact of falling limbs and delineates a pedestrian exclusion zone) whereas AS4970 2009 only considers the impact of works on the on-going health of the tree.

VEHICULAR EXCLUSION MECHANISMS
Vehicular exclusion mechanisms are treatments installed around the periphery of public open
space and tree protection reserves in the interest of protecting pedestrians from injury and
public open space from damage as a result of unauthorised vehicular movements and parking.
Vehicular exclusion mechanisms shall be designed to complement and enhance the amenity of
the surrounding urban environment and landscape character. Vehicular exclusion mechanisms
may comprise earth mounding, rock placement, planting, bollards, fencing and/or walls. All
barriers should be low and visually permeable to avoid dominating views and to enable passive
surveillance into open space areas. Council’s general preference is for continuous low profile
fencing.
The type of vehicular exclusion mechanism employed shall be used consistently throughout the
development and shall match and/or compliment treatments previously installed in close
proximity. The type of treatment and final design shall be determined on a case-by-case basis
in consultation with the responsible authority.
Council strongly encourages the use of sustainable materials for vehicular exclusion
mechanisms including the use of plantation hardwood and durable recycled materials.
All vehicular exclusion mechanisms shall be setback a minimum distance of 900mm from the
back of kerb for a municipal road comprising a speed limit of 50km per hour or less. This offset
will accommodate car doors when a vehicle is parked adjacent to the treatment and will
discourage vehicles from parking on the nature strip proper.
Where a standard width path (1.5 metres in width) transects a vehicular exclusion mechanism,
the vehicular exclusion mechanism shall abut the edge of path (refer to SDL.3.01). Where a
shared path (2.5 metres in width) transects a vehicular exclusion mechanism, a removable,
lockable bollard shall be installed in the centre of the path (refer to SDL.3.03). This bollard shall
include high visibility reflectors to minimise risk management issues.
At least one emergency/maintenance access point shall be provided for each open space area
in the form of a removable, lockable bollard or a robust lockable gate. The minimum opening for
an emergency/maintenance gate is 3.0 metres for lower order reserves and 4.0 metres for
higher order reserves. Removable bollards and gates shall be designed to complement the
adjacent vehicular exclusion mechanism. Maintenance access must not occur via a shared
path entry/exit point. Maintenance access must be provided independently from dedicated
pedestrian access points.
Fixed Bollards (SDL.3.01)
Bollards and other vertical treatments that do not comprise a horizontal element shall be
installed at a maximum interval of 1.5 metres from centre to centre.
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 2 of 5
Council will consider a range of bollard types, profiles and materials including timber, concrete,
galvanised steel, stainless steel and recycled composite plastic.
As a minimum guide, bollards shall comprise dressed seasoned hardwood with a Natural
Durability Class of 2 or better to ensure a 25+ year service life. All timber shall be straight,
clean and free of defects (splits, loose knots, cavities and splinters). Council will not accept the
use of treated softwood for this application.
The minimum bollard dimension is 125mm X 125mm in width and shall comprise 400mm below
ground and between 600mm to 800mm above ground. Concrete footing shall be nominally
350mm X 350mm in width and 450mm in height installed on a 50mm bed of Class 2 (20mm)
crushed rock. Concrete shall be 25 MPa minimum. The top of the concrete footing must
include a splay (30 degrees minimum) running away from the upright.
All finishes (paints and stains) applied to minimise weathering and/or for aesthetic reasons shall
be considered on a case by case basis and reapplied every 18 months or as required.
Frangible Bollards (SDL.3.02)
Frangible bollards shall be installed in proximity to road reserves where appropriate offset
distances cannot be achieved from the back of kerb. Council will consider a range of fracture
point details including drilled impact holes and/or bolt down details.
As a minimum guide, frangible timber bollards (as per the fixed bollard notations above) shall
comprise a 50mm diameter drill hole installed 150mm above the finished ground surface.
Removable Bollards (SDL.3.03)
Removable bollards shall be installed in the centre of shared paths where the path enters open
space or to provide emergency/maintenance access to lower order parks and reserves. To
achieve DDA compliance, a minimum width or 1100mm must be provided on both sides of the
removable bollard (ie. 1100mm clearance between the removable bollard and any adjacent
obstruction).
Removable bollards (as per the fixed bollard notations above) shall be installed using a Barling’s
or similar approved galvanised RHS sleeve with hinged lid. It must be demonstrated that the
sleeve will ensure a tight fit with the bollard proper (nominally 3mm clearance all round). A
galvanised eye nut screwed into the bollard shall be installed to fit the hinged lid opening to
enable the bollard to be fixed in place via a Council Abloy padlock at handover.
To accommodate Council’s OH&S requirements, the removable bollard shall be fitted with 2
galvanised heavy duty “D” handles rebated and attached to the upright via galvanised
countersunk screws. The handles shall be aligned in the direction of the path to ensure that
they do not obstruct pedestrian access.
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 3 of 5
Removable bollards shall be of a contrasting colour to the surrounding finished ground surface
and shall be fitted with reflective tape or reflector disks rebated 10mm into the bollard. The
centre of the reflective tape or disk shall be installed 100mm below the top of the bollard.
Post and Cable Fence (SDL.3.05 & SDL.3.06)
Uprights associated with post and cable fencing shall be nominally spaced at 3.0 metre intervals
from centre to centre.
As a minimum guide, uprights shall comprise dressed seasoned hardwood with a Natural
Durability Class of 2 or better to ensure a 25+ year service life. All timber shall be straight,
clean and free of defects (splits, loose knots, cavities and splinters). Council will not accept the
use of treated softwood for this application.
The minimum upright dimension is 125mm X 125mm in width and shall comprise 400mm below
ground and between 600mm to 800mm above ground. Concrete footings shall be nominally
350mm X 350mm in width and 450mm in height installed on a 50mm bed of Class 2 (20mm)
crushed rock. Concrete shall be 25 MPa minimum. The top of the concrete footing must
include a splay (30 degrees minimum) running away from the upright.
As a minimum requirement, the horizontal cable shall be 10mm in diameter (7 strand – 7 wire)
and galvanised. The maximum sag in the cable between any span shall be a maximum of
125mm. The cable shall be held in position via galvanised ferrules on either side of every third
post or at end posts or via a countersunk galvanised screw. Where ferrules are used on end
posts, the ferrule shall be rebated and concealed by a 75mm X 75mm galvanised plate secured
by 4 galvanised screws. The plate should be finished flush with the post. Where the galvanised
cable is cut on site, the cut area must be appropriately treated with a zinc rich, cold galvanising
paint (Stramit Zam or equal). Cold galvanised paint shall be re applied every 3 years or as
required. The centre of the cable shall be installed 150mm below the top of the bollard.
A 1500mm (maximum centre to centre) informal pedestrian entry point shall be provided every
fourth bay (ie every 9.0 metres) adjacent to lawn areas and/or had pavement. Continuous
fencing should be specified forward of all garden bed areas.
All finishes (paints and stains) applied to minimise weathering and/or for aesthetic reasons shall
be considered on a case by case basis and reapplied every 18 months or as required.
Post and Tube Fence (SDL.3.07)
Uprights associated with post and tube fencing shall be nominally spaced at 3.0 metre intervals
from centre to centre.
As a minimum guide, uprights shall comprise dressed seasoned hardwood with a Natural
Durability Class of 2 or better to ensure a 25+ year service life. All timber shall be straight,

350mm X 350mm in width and 450mm in height installed on a 50mm bed of Class 2 (20mm)
crushed rock. Concrete shall be 25 MPa minimum. The top of the concrete footing must
include a splay (30 degrees minimum) running away from the upright.
As a minimum requirement, the horizontal tube shall be 65mm in diameter and galvanised. The
tube shall be housed in a 50mm deep rebated hole drilled in each end post. Where the
galvanised tube is cut on site, the cut area must be appropriately treated with a zinc rich, cold
galvanising paint (Stramit Zam or equal). Cold galvanised paint shall be re applied every 3
years or as required. The centre of the tube shall be installed 150mm below the top of the
bollard. The tube shall be secured in position via a countersunk galvanised screw to the side of
the post facing the reserve.
A 1500mm (maximum centre to centre) informal pedestrian entry point shall be provided every
fourth bay (ie every 9.0 metres) adjacent to lawn areas and/or had pavement. Continuous
fencing should be specified forward of all garden bed areas.
All finishes (paints and stains) applied to minimise weathering and/or for aesthetic reasons shall
be considered on a case by case basis and reapplied every 18 months or as required.
Post and Rail Fence (SDL.3.08)
Uprights associated with post and rail fencing shall be nominally spaced at 2.4 metre intervals

SIDE AND REAR FENCES ABUTTING OPEN SPACE RESERVES AND TREE RESERVES
Whilst Council aims to generally orientate residential properties to face public open space and
tree reserves, this requirement is not always feasible and there is often a need to install side
and rear fences along title boundaries.
In accordance with standard planning permit conditions for subdivisions, side and rear fences
that abut open space and tree reserves shall be documented and approved as a function of the
civil construction drawings (engineering plans). Additionally, prior to the issue of a Statement of
Compliance for any stage of a subdivision the permit holder shall enter into an agreement with
the responsible authority under Section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 (or any
other restriction deemed satisfactory by the responsible authority) that requires the future
maintenance and repair of all fences (excluding the removal of graffiti) abutting open space or
tree reserves to be the responsibility of the owner of each lot abutting the reserve (except where
damage to the fence is caused by the Council or its representatives whilst undertaking
maintenance works to the reserve). It should be noted that Council does not contribute to the
repair/replacement costs of fences adjoining public open space in growth areas. The cost for
preparation and execution of the Agreement shall be borne by the permit holder. The intent of
constructing side and rear fences prior to the issue of a Statement of Compliance is to ensure
open space and tree reserves are protected from disturbance associated with building works on
adjoining or nearby properties.
Minimum Requirements for Side and Rear Fences Abutting Reserves
As a minimum standard, side and rear fencing (refer to drawing SDL.3.09 & SDL.3.10) shall:
Have a minimum height of 1.65 metres (traditional 5’4” fence) but not exceed 2.0 metres
in height. It should be noted that side and rear fencing greater than 2.0 metres in height
is subject to a building permit.
Comprise 125mm X 75mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine posts (Hazard Class H5) installed at a maximum spacing of 2.7 metres from centre to centre. The timber upright shall be set plumb and the top of posts shall be shaped to minimise water from pooling.
Comprise 600mm deep X 450mm wide 25 Mpa concrete footings (not a cement and soil mix).
Comprise 150mm X 25mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine plinth board (Hazard Class H5) fixed to each post by two (2) 56mm long hot dip galvanised flat head nails.
Comprise three (3) 75mm X 50mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine rails (Hazard Class H5) fixed to the posts by two (2) 75mm hot dipped galvanised nails per post.
Comprise 100mm X 15mm (2mm variation) ACQ treated pine palings (Hazard Class H5) with a 25mm overlap on both sides of each under paling (to accommodate shrinkage). A 200mm maximum overhang between the top of the rail and the top of the paling and a 200mm maximum overhang between the bottom of the rail and bottom of the paling is recommended. Under palings shall be fixed to each of the three (3) rails by one (1)
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 2 of 3
45mm long hot dip galvanised flat head nail and over palings shall be fixed to each of the three (3) rails by two (2) 56mm long hot dip galvanised flat head nails. All nails to be counter sunk 2mm in depth.
The first fence panel (2.7 metres in length) immediately adjacent to the road reserve shall be graduated in height to ensure pedestrians can clearly see cars egressing private property prior to the vehicle crossing the footpath. The maximum height for the fence immediately abutting the road reserve is 1.2 metres.
Preferred Requirements for Side and Rear Fences Abutting Reserves
Council’s preferred standard side and rear fence detail (refer to drawing SDL.3.11 & SDL.3.12) comprises:
A low section of semi-transparent fencing with a nominal height of 1.2 metres
commencing at the road reserve and terminating in line with the front building setback
associated with the adjacent dwelling; and a high section of solid fencing 1.8 metres in
height for the balance of the fence.
The intent of the low portion of fencing is to encourage passive surveillance of adjacent
open space from residential properties, ensure pedestrians can clearly see cars
egressing private property prior to the vehicle crossing the footpath and to provide visual
interest and diversity to perimeter treatments.
The intent of the high portion of fencing is to guarantee habitable room windows and
private open space associated with adjacent residential lots are not overlooked and to
ensure that private property is afforded greater security.
Low Fencing Component The low section of fencing shall:
Comprise 140mm X 140mm kiln dried dressed Cypress Pine posts (or similar hardwood
with a Natural Durability Class 1 rating) installed at a maximum spacing of 2.7 metres
from centre to centre. The timber upright shall be set plumb and the top of posts shall be
shaped to minimise water from pooling.
Comprise 800mm deep X 450mm wide 25 Mpa concrete footings (not a cement and soil
mix).
Comprise 150mm X 38mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine plinth board (Hazard Class H5)
fixed to posts by a hot dip galvanised steel bracket fix with 2 hot dip galvanised tech
screws.
Comprise two (2) 75mm X 50mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine rails (Hazard Class H5)
fixed to the posts by two (2) 75mm hot dipped galvanised nails per post.
Comprise 70mm X 19mm kiln dried dressed Cypress Pine pickets (or similar hardwood
with a Natural Durability Class 1 rating) with a 20mm gap between each picket. Each
picket shall be fixed to each of the two (2) rails by two (2) 56mm long hot dip galvanised
bullet head nails. All nails to be counter sunk 2mm in depth.
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)

Comprise 90mm X 45mm machined ACQ treated kiln dried pine peaked fence cap (Hazard Class H5) fixed in position by 75mm long hot dip galvanised flat head nails.
High Fencing Component The high section of fencing shall:
Comprise 140mm X 140mm kiln dried dressed Cypress Pine posts (or similar hardwood
with a Natural Durability Class 1 rating) installed at a maximum spacing of 2.7 metres
from centre to centre. The timber upright shall be set plumb and the top of posts shall be
shaped to minimise water from pooling.
Comprise 800mm deep X 450mm wide 25 Mpa concrete footings (not a cement and soil
mix).
Comprise 150mm X 38mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine plinth board (Hazard Class H5)
fixed to posts by a hot dip galvanised steel bracket fix with 2 hot dip galvanised tech
screws.
Comprise three (3) 75mm X 50mm ACQ treated kiln dried pine rails (Hazard Class H5)
fixed to the posts by two (2) 75mm hot dipped galvanised nails per post.
Comprise 100mm X 15mm (2mm variation) ACQ treated pine palings (Hazard Class H5)
with a 25mm overlap on both sides of each under paling (to accommodate shrinkage).
Under palings shall be fixed to each of the three (3) rails by one (1) 45mm long hot dip
galvanised flat head nail and over palings shall be fixed to each of the three (3) rails by
two (2) 56mm long hot dip galvanised flat head nails. All nails to be counter sunk 2mm
in depth.
Comprise 90mm X 45mm machined ACQ treated kiln dried pine peaked fence cap (Hazard Class H5) fixed in position by 75mm long hot dip galvanised flat head nails.
Alternative side and rear fencing details shall be reviewed on a case by case basis. In this regard, please note that Council does not support Colorbond (or similar) fencing abutting reserves.
NOTES:
1. As a minimum, posts should be 125mm X 75mm ACQ treated kiln dried Pine posts (Hazard Class H5) installed at a maximum spacing of 2.7 metres from centre to centre. The timber upright shall be set plumb and the top of posts shall be shaped to minimise water from pooling. Footings shall be 600mm deep X 450mm wide 25 Mpa concrete.

Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 1 of 2
SECURITY AND BARRIER FENCING
Security and barrier fencing is often required in or immediately adjacent to public open space to
delineate areas and boundaries, to provide hazard protection, restrict access and for security
purposes. The location, style and height of security and barrier fences should be designed to
achieve their purpose but be generally transparent and unobtrusive to ensure that these
structures do not dominate the open space and are generally concealed within the landscape.
Security Fencing
As a minimum standard, security fencing (refer to drawing SDL.3.14) shall:
Have a minimum height of 2.35 metres above ground level and be black in colour. Due to the height of this fence, this structure is subject to a building permit.
Comprise 50mm galvanised chain wire mesh 1800mm in height. The mesh shall be specified as 3.15mm heavy galvanised wire with black pvc coating. The mesh shall be installed 50mm above the existing ground level and the top and bottom shall be barbed selvedge.
Comprise three (3) double strand (4mm galvanise wire) cables to support the chain wire mesh. A cable shall run along the top, bottom and middle of the mesh component (ie 900mm spacing between cables). The chain mesh shall be tied to the wire cables at 400mm spacings via 2mm soft galvanised fencing wire.
Comprise three (3) rows of high tensile 2.5mm galvanised barbed wire at the top of the fence.
Comprise double strand (4mm galvanise wire) cabled braces attached to turnbuckle at corners, gates, strainer posts and end posts. Bracing cables shall be installed diagonally.
Comprise 50mm diameter galvanised tube uprights spaced at 4.0 metre centres (maximum). Uprights to include an angled splayed top (500mm in height) to house the barbed wire. All uprights shall include galvanised end caps.
Comprise 50mm diameter galvanised strainer posts at ends, where the fence changes direction or where there is a significant change in ground level requiring the fence to be raised or lowered.
Comprise 50mm diameter angled galvanised tube stays 1.3 metres in height and horizontal strut bars 4.0 metres in length at gates, corners and end posts. Stays and struts shall be securely fixed to the uprights via galvanised split tee couplings.
Comprise concrete footings nominally 300mm X 300mm in width and 600mm in height installed on a 50mm bed of class 2 (20mm) crushed rock. Concrete shall be 25MPa minimum. The top of the concrete footing must include a gentle splay (30 degrees minimum) running away from the upright.
Barrier Fencing
As a minimum standard, barrier fencing (refer to SDL.3.15) shall:
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 2 of 2
Have a nominal height of 1350mm above ground level and be black in colour.
Comprise 50mm galvanised chain wire mesh 1200mm in height. The mesh shall be specified as 3.15mm heavy galvanised wire with black pvc coating. The mesh shall be installed 100mm above the existing ground level.
Comprise 50mm diameter galvanised tube uprights spaced at 2.4 metre centres (nominal). All uprights shall include galvanised end caps.
Comprise 50mm diameter galvanised tube horizontal rails at the top and bottom. The chain mesh shall be tied to the rails via continuous length of 2mm soft galvanised fencing wire.
Horizontal rails shall be securely fixed to the uprights via galvanised split tee couplings.
Comprise concrete footings nominally 300mm X 300mm in width and 600mm in height installed on a 50mm bed of class 2 (20mm) crushed rock. Concrete shall be 25MPa minimum. The top of the concrete footing must include a gentle splay (30 degrees minimum) running away from the upright.
All damaged galvanised surfaces to be appropriately treated with a zinc rich cold galvanised
paint (Stamit Zam or equal).

PEDESTRIAN FENCING WITHIN THE ROAD RESERVE
Pedestrian fencing within the road reserve is often required to direct pedestrians to defined
crossing points (ie in proximity to schools), restrict access across roads (ie with the median
strip) or to provide separation between pedestrians and vehicles (ie around bus stops/shelters).
Pedestrian fencing within the road reserve must be designed to be visually unobtrusive, low
maintenance, transparent and frangible.
All fencing located within the road reserve will be referred to Council’s Engineering and
Transportation Department for review prior to approval.

Comprise 50mm X 50mm X 1.6mm RHS posts 1.3 metres in height and spaced at 2.5 metre centres. The posts shall include a 150mm X 150mm X 10mm base plate. Posts and base plates shall be hot dipped galvanised or powder coated black. All posts shall include end caps and end posts shall include high visibility reflective tape installed 100mm from the top of the post. NB: post height will vary depending on the footing detail specified.
Comprise six (6) galvanised “U” clips per panel to attach the mesh to the upright posts (3 clips each side). The clips shall be held in position via one (1) 12mm X 20mm zinc coated self-tapping TEK screw per clip. Drill holes in the upright to house the screws and in the base plate to house the bolts shall be pre-drilled prior to the post being hot dipped galvanised.
Comprise concrete footings nominally 300mm wide X 400mm long X 300mm deep installed on a 50mm bed of class 2 (20mm) crushed rock. Concrete shall be 25MPa minimum and include two (2) rows of 12mm diameter trench mesh. The base plate shall be connected to the footing via four (4) 10mm (commercial – 4.6 grade) fully threaded bolts. The bolts shall be embedded a minimum depth of 100mm and the bolt holes filled with injection mortar (chemical anchor epoxy resin). For alternative footing details (direct buried and/or post set in compacted soil) refer to associated drawing.

TEMPORARY FARM FENCING
Temporary farm fencing is often required along the title boundary of open space reserves when
adjacent land is yet to be developed and there is a need to protect landscape attributes.
Temporary farm fencing should only be used as an interim treatment until such time as the
adjacent land is developed and an ultimate fence treatment is installed.
As a minimum standard, temporary farm fencing (SDL.3.19) shall:
Comprise 150mm diameter ACQ treated pine posts (Hazard Class 5) with a minimum height of 1.8 metres (total post length) at every corner, change of fence direction or at a maximum interval of 9.0 metres. These posts shall be sunk 600mm into the ground.
Comprise 150mm diameter ACQ treated pine straining posts assembly (Hazard Class 5) at all corners and at 200 metres centres (maximum). Assembly posts shall have a minimum height of 2.15 metres (total post height) sunk 950mm into the ground. Assemblies shall comprise 125mm diameter timber rails held in position via 10mm diameter galvanised steel spikes 250mm in length.
Comprise steel star pickets with a minimum height of 1.65 metres (total picket length) installed between the treated pine posts at a maximum interval of 3.0 metres. These steel star pickets shall be sunk 400mm into the ground and shall include high visibility safety caps.
Comprise 5 strands of 2.5mm diameter hot dipped galvanised high tensile fencing wire spaced at 240mm spacings. All wires shall be connected to timber posts via 25mm X 2.64mm galvanised fencing staples and tied to star pickets.
Alternative fence types will be reviewed and accepted on a case by case basis.

RECONSTRUCTED STONE WALL
Dry stone walls contribute significantly to the municipal landscape character, are an important
historic attribute and provide a range of habitat opportunities for insects, reptiles, amphibians
and birds. Furthermore, stone walls often create particular micro-climates favourable to
indigenous plant communities and native flora including lichens and mosses. As a
consequence, Council generally aims to retain and protect stone walls within the municipality
where possible.
Disturbance to Dry Stone Walls
Prior to commencing works in proximity to a dry stone wall or disturbing a wall in any manner, a
stone wall management plan must be prepared by a suitable qualified and experienced heritage
consulted and submitted to Council for approval. Generally, stone wall management plans
must:
Show stone walls or portions of stone walls to be removed.
Show stone walls or portions of stone walls to be retained in situ.
Show stone walls or portions of stone walls to be retained, repaired and/or
reconstructed.
Where relevant, identify the use of any surplus stone from stone walls not being
retained.
Include a specification describing the process for protection, dismantling and/or
reconstruction of all stone walls.
Where necessary, stone management plans will be referred to external authorities including
Heritage Victoria.
Stone Walls and Paths
Where a path is required to dissect an existing stone wall (refer to SDL.9.03), the treatment
shall comprise:
The removal of a portion of the wall to accommodate the width of the path plus an offset
distance of 600mm between the edge of the path and edge of the wall (on all sides).
The reconstruction of a portion of the wall for a distance of 3000mm on both sides of the
path.
Existing portions of the original dry stone wall made good (replacement of loose and
fallen stone etc).
The intent of these requirements is to minimise risk management issues (ie ensure loose stones
do not fall onto adjacent pedestrian and cycle paths) and to minimise maintenance obligations.
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 2 of 3
Furthermore, the treatment has been designed to minimise both accidental and deliberate
damage to the most vulnerable and easily accessible portions of the wall.
Reconstructed Walls
Generally, sections of the reconstructed stone wall on either side of the path shall:
Match the style and the form of the existing wall (height, width and profile including
capping stones) and shall be built using the original stone removed during demolition.
Be constructed to ensure the stone is fixed in place with coloured mortar to match the
natural tones of the of the weathered field basalt floaters. All mortar joints shall be
inconspicuous and deeply raked (40mm minimum).
Generally comprise a random bond pattern with larger stones being located towards the
bottom of the wall and smaller stones being located along the top of the wall.
Include a footing comprising a 100mm concrete base (no reinforcement) laid on a 50mm
bed of Class 2 (20mm) crushed rock. The finished ground surface shall be graded away
from the wall and shall conceal the base and footing.
Stone, Rock and Boulders
As a minimum requirement stone, rock and boulders shall:
Be sound and free from defects that may affect strength, appearance and durability.
Stone with cut and broken faces or undesirable markings shall not be incorporated into
finished surfaces.
Be of an appropriate colour and quality to ensure a uniform finish (ie ensure the variation
in colour and texture are distributed throughout the finished surface to avoid
concentrations of similar variations and colours).
Be installed level and embedded to ensure that the stone is stable and free of
movement.
Planting Adjacent to the Original Section of Stone Wall
To discourage direct access to original sections of dry stone wall, a dense vegetation buffer
shall be installed to minimise both intentional and unintentional damage and disturbance to the
wall (refer to SDL.9.04). Buffer planting shall:
Be a minimum of 2.5 metres in width and generally comprise a density of 5 plants per
square metre supplied in tube containers (dense plant out rate).
Comprise robust plant species of a height and form that will not restrict views towards or
conceal the stone wall. Plantings shall compliment and frame adjacent walls and not
detract from the visual amenity and character of the wall.
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)
Standard Drawings_Landscape Details Guidelines for Urban Development - November 2014 Page 3 of 3
Specify plant species that have a growth characteristic that will not adversely impact the
structural integrity of the adjacent wall.
NOTE: All stonework shall be undertaken by a suitably qualified and experienced stone
mason or landscape contractor.

PAPER ROADS
Paper roads are narrow road reservations generally located between public open space and
residential dwellings. Paper roads are created on the Plan of Subdivision and are nominally 4.0
metres in width. A paper road generally comprises a 1.5 metre wide concrete footpath offset
50mm from the adjacent residential title boundary and a 2.45 metre wide provision for domestic
services. Paper roads must be illuminated and landscaped to ensure an attractive park
interface. Additionally, paper roads must be designed to prohibit unauthorised vehicular access.
The intent of a paper road (refer to SDL.10.01) is to:
Enable pedestrian access to the front of dwellings orientated to face open space
(preferred orientation for amenity and passive surveillance).
Provide emergency and postal access to the front of dwellings.
Provide adequate provision for domestic services.
The provision of a paper road must be deducted from developable land and must not be
deducted from public open space.
Lighting Requirements
Paper roads shall be illuminated to P4 category and meet all requirements as specified
in AS/NZS 1158 (Lighting for Roads and Public Spaces).
Where possible, paper roads shall be illuminated via street lighting located within
adjacent road reserves negating the need to install additional lights along the length of
the paper road (ie strategic placement of street lighting within the road reserve to
minimise the need to provide additional lighting infrastructure).
If lighting is required along the length of a paper road, the lighting shall be separately
metered. At handover the ongoing maintenance and operational costs shall become the
sole responsibility of Council.
Lighting and all associated infrastructure along the length of a paper road shall be
installed fully within the abutting open space reserve and not within the paper road
proper (supply pit and cabling that runs from the paper road to the meter/supply box
located within the open space reserve will remain an SP Ausnet asset).
The meter/supply box shall be manufactured from heavy gauge galvanised steel, include
a vandal proof locking system and be mounted on a concrete support. Specifically, a
free standing double-sided cabinet shall house the power supply on one side and a
double GPO on the other. The cabinet shall be of a sufficient size to comfortably house
the necessary equipment as well as meeting all power supply regulations. The cabinet
shall be fitted with heavy duty hasp and staple top and bottom (2) each side. One side
to take Council abloy locks, the other side shall be provided with standard power industry
Technical Note Issued: 3 November 2014 (Rev A)

locks. Swallow Engineering Irrigation Controller Cabinet (100 X 500 X 300mm) ten
gauge galvanised steel or approved larger equivalent is suitable (photograph attached).
All cabling from the meter/supply box shall be installed in conduit and shall be installed
at a minimum depth of 600mm below the finished ground surface.
Process
Where an FLP identifies the need for a paper road, written advice shall be provided from
Council’s Growth Areas Development Assessment Department to the developer.
The detailed lighting design for a paper road shall be prepared by a suitably qualified
and experienced electrical engineer and shall include the lighting type, conduit location,
meter/supply box location and any other relevant information. The submission must also
provide an isolux diagram for the entire paper road. The lighting provision shall be
approved as a function of the construction/engineering drawings.
On receipt of the lighting submission, Development Engineering shall refer the
documentation to both Parks and Open Space and Engineering and Transportation
Departments for comment prior to endorsement.
The installation of the lights and associated infrastructure shall occur prior to the issue of
Statement of Compliance for the Stage.
All lighting and associated infrastructure shall be installed by a suitably qualified and
experienced electrician. Prior to the commencement of the civil defects liability period, a
copy of the Electrical Certificate of Compliance shall be provided to Council’s
Engineering Services Department.
The “as constructed” civil drawings shall include the electrical documentation and shall
be uploaded onto Council’s GIS.
Invoicing Requirements for Electrical Assets Located within Open Space Council will be responsible for the payment of electrical fees and charges from the date that an electrical asset is installed/connected (ie not after the landscape maintenance period has expired). Council’s preferred energy supplier is AGL Energy Limited. If electrical infrastructure is to be installed, the developer or the developer’s representative must liaise with AGL to arrange the electrical connection and co-ordinate invoicing requirements. On written advice from the developer documenting property details, what assets are to be connected, meter number and a Certificate of Electrical Compliance, Council will provide a written direction addressed to the power authority authorising the connection and confirming billing details. The Council direction can be emailed directly to [email protected] for processing. The obligation for maintaining electrical assets during the landscape maintenance period will remain the sole responsibility of the developer in accordance with the requirements specified in
