Construction of a new carport, hardstand car space, associated vehicle crossing and front fence to semi-detached dwelling.

Alterations and additions to dwelling including internal reconfiguration, first floor additional and extension of the existing garage with a garage loft.

Prune one (1) Jacaranda at rear of property.

Prune one (1) Fig tree in north eastern corner of back yard

Prune one (1) White Cedar on left boundary, rear building. Prune one (1) Banksia on right boundary, rear building.

Remove and replace one (1) tree on side boundary on fence line. This tree is planted in an unsuitable location and has insufficient space to develop. The tree is only young however there is evidence of large buttress roots forming. Branches encroach onto both the owner’s and neighbouring properties, creating a safety hazard for the residents. To prune this tree away from the properties would require a significant amount to be removed, leaving the tree as a poor specimen.

Modifications to internal layouts of apartments and increase to commercial floor area of the approved mixed use development.

Demolition of existing structures, construction of two storey attached dual occupancy with basement garage, swimming pools and strata subdivision

Alterations and additions to existing semi-detached dwelling including a first floor extension.

Demolition, works to rear pergola, replacement section of party wall/fence, construction of new swimming pool, deck and associated landscaping.

Change of use to podiatry studio with internal fitout and new signage.

Internal alterations to existing garage to covert the spare to storage area.

Demolition of existing site structures and construction of 2 x 2 storey dwellings with pools and Torrens Title subdivision into 2 lots.

Prune (1) Unknown tree at front of house.

Remove one (1) Conifer adjacent to rear boundary on North Eastern corner.

Modification to amend condition 2 so the depth of the timber deck is 3.5m.

Alterations and additions to an existing semi-detached dwelling including a first floor addition.

Prune one (1) tree in back yard

Alterations and additions to a dwelling including the installation of an elevator.

Prune one (1) Liquidambar adjacent to rear, right boundary.

Prune one (1) native tree outside main entry.

Remove one (1) Callistemon from rear wall, adjacent to no.30 boundary. This tree has co-dominant stems - trees with twin trunks are often hazardous as they feature included bark and require prompt attention. As the two stems grow wider, some of this bark becomes trapped inside the junction. The bark compromises the integrity of the joint, increasing the chances of failure. The condition of the trunk cannot be remedied and the risks outweigh any benefits the tree may provide. Removal is supported.

Remove one (1) Jacaranda and remove one (1) Pencil Pine from front boundary

Remove two (2) Fig Trees from front boundary. These trees are unsuitable & unsustainable in their location. There is insufficient space for these trees to flourish and mature in good health and vigour. As they continue to grow they will cause ongoing damage to the boundary enclosure.

Prune one (1) Deciduous tree at rear, left corner boundary

Remove one (1) Loquat adjacent to house. This tree is planted in an unsuitable location and has insufficient space to develop.

Remove one (1) Hills Weeping Fig from left corner of property. This tree is unsustainable in its location and has insufficient space to develop to its massive mature size. It is only young at around 30 years old, however there is already evidence of large buttress roots forming - these roots are pressing up against the foundation of the house causing worsening damage to the property as the tree grows and the woody roots expand. With 80% of the canopy over the road and the other 20% over the roof, to prune this tree would require a large amount to be removed, leaving it as a poor specimen. Any pruning of the canopy would not address the damage being caused by the roots. While it may be possible to install a root barrier along the foundation in order to contain the roots on the property, given the proximity of the tree to the house this would inevitably sever structural roots and predispose the tree to failure. Council cannot authorise tree retainment while creating potential hazards. The only practical and cost-effective way of abating the current damage and preventing further damage is to order the removal of the tree.

Modification to the staircase and front entry.

Modification to alter eastern elevation including the construction of a new double hung window and internal alterations.

Modifications to change the wording of condition 2 and general modifications including plans to address that condition.
