Tree failure requires removal in Centennial Park
Posted: 24 January 2012
A Port Jackson Fig, located on Carrington Drive, Centennial Park, has failed overnight due to age, inclusions and prevailing weather conditions.
The fig will require removal to maintain public safety. In the interim, the area around the fig has been barricaded and we request all park visitors to take care when passing through the area.
Tree replacement in Centennial Parklands
The Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust take a planned approach to managing our trees in Centennial Parklands. We have developed a strong Tree Asset Management System complemented by a comprehensive Tree Replacement Program, based on our Tree Master Plan (Plan). The Plan sets out strategies for conserving the existing tree population and provides a framework for sensitively integrating new plantings into the Parklands' historic fabric.
The Plan has identified that up to 200 new trees need to be planted each year over the next 10–20 years to maintain the tree populations in the Parklands. Gradual removal of the affected tress will commence in stages over the next few years - with those identified as being in the worst condition (and/or hazardous to park visitors) will be removed first.
As part of the Tree Replacement Program we periodically remove trees that are deemed unsafe and at the end of their life cycle.
Over the last five years under the Tree Replacement Program we have been required to remove 970 trees and have planted 1084 semi-mature trees during this period.
We here at the Trust, recognise that the care of ageing trees requires a sensitive and balanced approach to managing the risk issues and community values while retaining the Parklands’ cultural landscape.
Adopt or dedicate your own tree in Centennial Parklands
The tree replacement program is a joint initiative between the Trust and the Centennial Parklands Foundation, a charitable organisation which helps generate commitment to, and support and funding for, the ongoing management and conservation of Centennial Parklands.
Community support is vital in continuing this important work and you can contribute by dedicating or adopting one of our 15,000 trees.
You can help as an individual or with family and friends, or you can help through your organisation or company.
