Trees and Vegetation Delivery Work Plan
3. Affected Trees and Vegetation A Tree Assessment3 was prepared in August 2012 and formed part of the original Notice of Requirement (NoR) for establishing the CRL designations. The assessment found that there are scheduled trees within or near the construction footprint of Aotea Station and the construction worksite. Two TV DWPs have been prepared for the relocation of utilities prior to the construction of Aotea Station and its associated tunnels. The working areas for these enabling works overlap with the Aotea main works. Therefore, the majority of trees within the project area will have already been removed prior to the commencement of Aotea main works construction. The TV DWP prepared for Stages 1 to 3 and Stages 4 and 5 details where tree removal is required. It was identified in the Stage 4 and 5 TV DWP that an outline of future street tree reinstatements for Aotea Station would be provided in this current DWP, to provide an early indication of how the CRL project will mitigate for the loss of tulip trees along Mayoral Drive. This is presented in Appendix B.
3.1 Affected Trees - Aotea Main Works As the majority of trees initially identified within the construction footprint will be removed during the Stages 1 to 3 and Stages 4 and 5 utility relocation works, the only additional trees to be affected by the Aotea main works are 11 pĹ?hutukawa (T34) trees situated at the southern end of Albert Street, outside the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The location of the impacted trees is shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2. Table 3-1 provides a summary of the trees that will be impacted by the Aotea main works, and proposed mitigation measures.
