On 26th August 2009 a new Australian Standard was released AS 4970-2009, Protection of trees on development sites. This long-awaited standard provides guidance for arborists, architects, builders, engineers, land managers, landscape architects and contractors, planners, building surveyors, those concerned with the care and protection of trees and all others interested in the integration between trees and construction. This standard is a best practice document for the planning and protection of trees on development sites and while there will be some discussion about some of the principles with the standard, the fact that all involved in the tree industry can now use and speak a common language should mean better planning and protection of trees in the long-term. The standard can be purchased from Standards Australia.
