ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The original strategy report was produced by Landscape Victoria Pty Ltd, with assistance from John Fordham Horticultural Services Pty Ltd. Editing by Council staff has produced this final Strategy. Landscape Victoria staff involved: Des Gunn Landscape Architect Philip Leahy Landscape Architect John Fordham Horticultural Services staff involved: John Fordham Arboriculturalist Steve Fitzgerald Arboriculturalist Bayside City Council staff involved: Mike Hoy Environment Manager Jason Davenport Arboriculture Co-ordinator


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction This Strategy has been developed as a tool to assist Bayside City Council to: • prioritise street tree planting programs; • detail suitable species for use in the various character areas of the municipality, to compliment

existing landscape character; • establish a process for the implementation of street tree improvement programs; and • identify significant streetscapes in Bayside for use in Council’s Vegetation Line Clearance

Management Plan. Character areas were developed as part of the Bayside Urban Character Study, by others (Urban Consulting Group, 1996). Method of Data Collection A survey was undertaken of all streets in Bayside, to collect information about the species and condition of trees present. At the same time, a range of data was also collected which was pertinent to assessing the landscape amenity of each street. Street Tree Evaluation A number of rating systems were developed to analyse the data collected, and establish the contribution of street trees to the landscape amenity of each street. These ratings are used together to allocate a priority to every street in Bayside. Significant streetscapes are also identified, enabling specialised arrangements to be developed to manage these trees (eg pruning requirements, powerline modifications). Recommended Street Trees For each character area a range of recommendations are made, including: • suitable species listings; • planting arrangements; and • listings of significant streetscapes.

These recommendations take into account the character of the area as well as evidence of how existing planting’s are performing.


1. INTRODUCTION The City of Bayside is valued by its residents for its strong landscape character. This character is one of a well treed and “green” environment, but with vastly differing styles in different localities; from the strongly European character in the north to the established native environment in the south. This Strategy forms an essential tool for Council in the retention and enhancement of the existing character of Bayside. 1.1 Objectives The objectives for this Strategy are to: • provide a framework for the selection of street trees for planting in Bayside, which will

compliment the character areas developed in the Bayside Urban Character Study (Urban Consulting Group, 1996);

• identify important streetscapes in Bayside for conservation and enhancement; • establish a mechanism to prioritise streets for improvement based on street health and

landscape amenity; • define a process for street tree improvement works, including resident consultation; and • identify significant streetscapes which require specialised management practices to retain their

current character (eg tree surgery, short pruning cycles, overhead line modification). This outcome will fulfil a requirement of Council’s 1997/98 Vegetation Line Clearance Management Plan.

1.2 In Perspective It is important to be clear that this Strategy is not: • a Street Tree Inventory. Such an inventory, which requires the collection of detailed

information regarding every individual tree planted in Bayside streets, is being undertaken as part of another study to be completed in September, 1997. Data collected for this Strategy involved identifying the overall health of dominant trees in each street, but not about every individual tree.

• a Streetscape Strategy or Street Tree Master Plan. The Strategy forms a sound framework

on which to develop and prioritise actions to improve street tree amenity in Bayside. • a review of landscape character of Open Space, as such information is available from the

Bayside Urban Character Study. Open space areas were however considered in the context of the individual street, in terms of streetscape implications of the park edges. This Strategy may prove useful in the future in establishing planting “themes” for open space areas.

1.3 The Benefits of Street Trees

Street Trees perform a number of very important functions when planted in the urban environment. These positive attributes include the ability to:

• positively influence the micro-climate in streets, by reducing glare and reflection from built structures, intercepting and reflecting strong sunlight, producing shade areas as relief from the sun, controlling temperature extremes and helping to absorb and control wind flows in streets;

• create habitat sites for birds, mammals and other fauna; • act as environmental indicators of seasonal change, for example spring flowering and

autumn foliage colours; Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 7

• emphasise the direction of roads, and to influence vehicle speed and driver comfort; • act as air purifiers in the often more polluted atmosphere of suburbia; • provide a natural scale with man made objects (only medium to tall street trees can

fulfil this criteria); and • improve the general aesthetic appeal of an area to residents, affecting both their

perceived quality of life and property values.


2. STUDY METHODOLOGY The approach taken in the development of this Strategy was designed to produce an outcome which both achievable and best practice. Steps taken to achieve this were to: • establish the required outcomes of the Strategy; • select data collection criteria which were considered essential in the future management of

streetscapes in Bayside; • survey the physical conditions, tree health and general streetscape amenity of each street

within the City; • analyse data collected, to enable prioritisation of streetscapes, by utilising a computer

database; • investigate and recommend appropriate species for street planting’s in each character area;

and • recommend an implementation process for the Strategy, including community consultative

mechanisms.


3. STREET TREE EVALUATION 3.1 Species and Health Field assessment identified a range of species in use in streetscapes in Bayside. Many have been able to withstand the sub-optimal conditions that street trees have to endure. Many findings were not surprising as the species selected and the locations chosen were typical of the planting styles common throughout Melbourne over the last 70 years. The use of Eucalyptus ficifolia through much of Sandringham, Highett and Black Rock reflects its popularity in the 1920’s and as such this region of the City has some of the best examples of this species in the state. General tree health was strongly correlated to arboricultural practises used to accommodate overhead powerlines. The overall assessment of the health and vigour of street trees in Bayside indicated that the species selected were generally horticulturally suitable for the area. Some of the species used near the coast appeared to be affected by airborne salt laden wind. “Poor Performers” The following trees had not performed well as street trees in Bayside:

Fraxinus X Raywood Ginkgo biloba Grevillea robusta Prunus cerasifera Prunus X blireana Lagunaria patersonia

“Good Performers” Trees that performed well both in terms of uniformity and structure included:

Ulmus procera Quercus robur Melia azedarach Ulmus parvifolia Acer negundo Callistemon salignus Agonis flexuosa

From the survey, and experience in the use of other species in similar localities and situations, a selection of trees appropriate for use in Bayside was developed (see Appendix E). Species were then selected from this list to compliment the character of each area. The list was not considered to be exclusive, and additional species would be utilised as appropriate situation arose. 3.2 Landscape Amenity Rating of Streets After careful consideration of the components which create the streetscape, a number of critical factors were selected to analyse the data. A three tiered rating system was developed which would progressively rank and compare the existing quality of streetscapes in Bayside:

Level 1 Subjective assessment of the overall amenity value of the street trees in each street.


Level 2 Subjective assessment of the private garden contribution to streetscape quality. Level 3 Uses a combination of objective data to weight street tree health and vigour.

The rating system was then used to prioritise streets for classification as ‘Significant’ streetscapes, as well as those which should be prioritised for immediate planting to improve landscape amenity. Appendix D contains details of this process and the rating components.

A. GARDENVALE Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 13

A. GARDENVALE Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Low scale street trees generally, with some excellent mature street trees of importance.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Adopt a street tree planting program to enhance existing exotic mature trees.” To compliment this character both exotic and deciduous trees are recommended for Gardenvale. Evergreen trees are generally only recommended where existing strong evergreen streetscapes warrant continuity of planting.

General observations • Characterised by established private gardens, with asphalt paths and bluestone kerbs

common. • Most nature strips around 2.0 metres wide. • Ash (often Fraxinus angustifolia) are common, but often disfigured. • A diversity of native and exotic species has been used. • Strong Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) theme. • Lagunaria patersonia common but not performing well. • Eucalyptus ficifolia common, along with Acmena smithii, Melaleuca linariifolia, and

Lophostemon confertus. • Camphor laurels and Planes are generally coping well with pruning for powerlines.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Gardenvale had an average score of 2.61 for Rating 1, approximating the Council wide average of 2.67. Many Gardenvale streets (48%) were determined to have less than satisfactory landscape quality. The highest rating streetscapes in Gardenvale contain exotic deciduous trees, including Planes (Platanus x acerifolia), Elms (Ulmus procera) and Liquidambars (Liquidambar styraciflua).

Arrangement In non-coastal areas, street trees shall be arranged as formal avenues of the recommended species. In these circumstances, it is anticipated that the minimum spacing will be 8 metres, with maximum spacing of 15 metres. Coastal areas may be planted as formal avenues or informal groves where appropriate. Spacings shall depend on species used, but may range from 2 to 15 metres. Courts or “No Through Road” streets may be treated as individual landscape treatments, each with their own particular style. Species used in terminating the end of the street or court bowl should be consistent with those at the entrance, with species from the character area providing the type of planting theme. Street orientation and therefore solar access to homes on the south side of east/west streets should be considered in each particular street to determine the species of street tree to be planted.

Coastal Areas Special consideration should be given to landscape treatments of streets which terminate near the Bay. Issues to be addressed in each location include: • sightlines to the Bay • the impact of salt spray on the vegetation planted • the role this vegetation plays in linking the foreshore landscape to the street treescape and

should be considered before detailed recommendations for street and coastal planting are prepared. An indication is given in the text above, for precincts with a coastal edge, as to where consideration of coastal planting should start.

Commercial Areas Most commercial or shopping precincts within Bayside are poorly planted, with consequent reduced pedestrian amenity. These areas warrant detailed design attention, but should identify with the themes established in the relevant character area. Large Canopy Trees • Streets where the grassed naturestrips exceed 3.0 metres, street width is at least 20 metres,

and where no high voltage powerlines exist overhead. • Site specific opportunities for large trees associated with traffic medians, kerb outstands

or other roadway treatments. • Threshold treatments at street intersections. Medium Canopy Trees • Use as the primary street tree in streets where the grassed naturestrip exceeds 1.5 metres

in width. Small Canopy Trees • Streets where the grassed naturestrips are less than 1.5 metres or street width is less than

15 metres. • Used as major tree in planting’s which incorporate large or medium canopy trees as

threshold or accent planting’s. Site specific opportunities where large or medium canopy trees cannot be accommodated.

B. NORTH BRIGHTON


B. NORTH BRIGHTON Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Generally established and substantial street trees and private front gardens, diminishing at foreshore.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Maintain residential amenity through street tree planting program and retention of

established vegetation throughout..” • “Beachside areas have generally low scale planting within a somewhat “hostile”

environment. Planting (on street) deteriorates closer to the water.” Older, established homes and gardens have a largely exotic feel, though existing tree planting is somewhat mixed. Most high quality streetscapes are exotic, though Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) also figures prominently. An exotic and deciduous emphasis is seen as appropriate in future street tree plantings.

General observations • Established gardens with many large trees on private frontages. • Many asphalt paths with bluestone kerbs. • Chinese Elms (Ulmus parvifolia) are coping well with pruning under power lines and

have the right scale (eg Elm Grove). • Liquidambars (Liquidambar styraciflua) and Maples (Acer negundo) are doing very well

in North Brighton (eg Rothesay Avenue and Farleigh Avenue).

Landscape Amenity Ratings North Brighton had an average score of 2.72 for Rating 1, approximating the Council wide average of 2.67. Some North Brighton streets (35%) were determined to have less than satisfactory landscape quality.

C. BRIGHTON Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 24

C. BRIGHTON Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Varied street trees and indigenous coastal species. Streets are distinctive due to street trees and street detailing, eg., nature strips.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Maintain residential amenity through street tree planting program and retention of

established vegetation throughout.” • “Enhance on-street environment by low scale vegetation and upgraded lighting.” • “Encourage street tree plantations at intersections to reinforce local street trees.” The highest rating streets in Brighton are a mixture of native and exotic plantings, with the very best streetscapes dominated by Plane trees (Platanus sp.). The period character of much of the built form, and the highly urbanised character of the many high masonry fences, suggest that an exotic deciduous species are appropriate for future street tree planting. However, streets with significant evergreen plantings are suggested for retention in line with the Urban Character Study recommendations for “retention of established vegetation throughout.”

General observations • Characterised by established private gardens, with asphalt paths and bluestone kerbs

common. • Most nature strips around 2.0 metres wide. • Scale of planting often poor, with many unplanted sites. • Much disfigurement of Ash (Fraxinus spp.) and Lagunaria patersonia under power lines. • Mixed native and exotic. • Sea views important. • Lilly-Pilly (Acmena smithii, Waterhousia floribunda) doing well.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Brighton had an average score of 2.70 for Rating 1, approximating the Council wide average of 2.67. Many Brighton streets were determined to have high quality (25%), with only 25% having a less than satisfactory landscape quality.

D. THE CRESCENTS


D. THE CRESCENTS Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Distinctive street orientation unique to Bayside area........with character of well established avenue planting...”. and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Recognise and promote landscaping and open space that defines The Crescent precinct

and topography” Although existing street trees include many native species, it is clear that the best streetscapes in this area are dominated by exotics, including Planes (Platanus x acerifolia), Elms (Ulmus spp.) and Oaks (Quercus spp.). The distinctive subdivision pattern (itself a cultural artefact), and the civic/educational importance of the area, noted in the Urban Character Study, suggest that further building on these exotic / deciduous street trees offers the appropriate course for future planting.

General observations • Wide nature strips are common. • High rating streets often do not have wide nature strips. (eg Black Street and Bryson

Street • Unusual circular layout of the central roads, namely Outer, Middle and Inner Crescents. • The opportunity exists for the creation of some very significant treescapes • Primarily trees are exotic deciduous in character, although there are some significant

examples of native trees. (eg: Iron barks in Black Street) • A number of period homes located in this area including ‘Billilla’ Landscape Amenity Ratings The Crescents had an average score of 2.91 for Rating 1, significantly above the Council wide average of 2.67. Many streets in The Crescents were determined to have high quality (27%), with only 29% having a less than satisfactory landscape quality. The Crescents precinct is clearly among the areas with the highest streetscape amenity in Bayside.

E. EAST BRIGHTON


E. EAST BRIGHTON Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “There is an established leafy feel due to street trees and established gardens but there is a ‘sameness’ in the (built) residential area.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “The “sameness” of the area could be revitalised by ....... introducing a variety of

street trees.” Existing street planting is mixed, with Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) very common. The highest rating streets are dominated by Planes (Platanus x acerifolia), Oaks (Quercus spp.) and Brush Box. Some predominance of exotic plantings on private frontages, as well as the “established leafy feel” noted by the Urban Conservation Study, suggest an emphasis on exotic trees is appropriate for future street tree planting. Evergreens are suggested for retention where well established streetscapes are present.

General observations • A mix of streets with asphalt paths and bluestone kerbs, and streets redeveloped in

concrete, with nature strips commonly about 2.0 metres wide. • Established private gardens. • Cape Chestnut (Calodendrum capense) is a fine small specimen tree doing well (eg Henry

Street). • Concrete crossovers clash with asphalt paths: recommend use of coloured concrete. • There is currently no consistent landscape character, with a mixture of exotic and native

street tree planting. • Angophora costata is doing very well in the north west corner of Hurlingham Park. • Noel Street provides a good example of a Red Flowering Gum (Eucalyptus ficifolia)

streetscape doing well. • Camphor laurels (Cinnamomum camphora) are common, also Brush Box, Golden Ash

(Fraxinus excelsior “‘Aurea’” ), Liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua), and Lilly-pillys (Acmena smithii).

Landscape Amenity Ratings East Brighton had an average score of 2.98 for Rating 1, significantly above the Council wide average of 2.67. Many streets in East Brighton were determined to have high quality (30%), with only 18% having a less than satisfactory landscape quality. East Brighton is clearly among the areas with the highest streetscape amenity in Bayside.

F. HAMPTON


F. HAMPTON Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Mostly native (character) but (with a) mixture with exotic street trees, regularly planted one per frontage space..... Generally established street trees. Established well maintained front gardens.” and “Pleasant and comfortable (character) due mainly to the established “native” street environment.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Introduce native vegetation to screen rail line and beyond, of a medium scale...”. • “Develop a landscape policy for the foreshore which maintains view lines, eg. Norfolk

Island Pines (Auracaria heterophylla) or equivalent suitable species.” Although the highest rating streets in Hampton are dominated by native species, the Urban Character Study recommends a street tree planting program “to enhance existing exotic mature trees”. The proposed planting list is designed to continue this mix of species. Where established native streetscapes are present their retention and enhancement is recommended.

General observations • Most footpaths and kerbs are concrete. • Generally established private gardens, with positive contributions to the streetscape. • Street tree planting almost all native. • Gum trees (Eucalyptus spp.), Lilly-pillys (Acmena smithii), Camphor Laurels

(Cinnamomum camphora) and Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) are common. • Sea views are important.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Hampton had an average score of 2.43 for Rating 1, below the Council wide average of 2.67. Some Hampton streets (40%) were determined to have less than satisfactory landscape quality.

G. SANDRINGHAM


G. SANDRINGHAM Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Variety of street trees both exotic and natives with good canopy cover....Gardens well maintained and established.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” The Urban Character Study provides no specific direction for street tree planting in this area. Most high rating streets are native evergreens, as are the dominant trees on private frontages, with large Eucalypts common. The informal style and established native character of many large private garden frontages suggest that native trees will generally best contribute to enhancement of Sandringham streetscapes.

General observations • The area with the highest number of nature strips more than 3.0 metres wide. • Mainly concrete paths and kerbs. • Established private gardens, with mostly positive contributions to the streetscape. • Lilly-pillys (Acmena smithii) do well (eg east side of Pellew Street, between Sandringham

and Abbot Streets). • Fine examples of Red Flowering Gums (Eucalyptus ficifolia) in Henry Street, showing

the capacity of this tree to cope well with near coastal situations. • Trees mainly native, with Eucalyptus spp. planting themes common. • Significant avenue of Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis) in Bamfield Street. • Many large trees (particularly Eucalyptus spp.) in private gardens. • E. ficifolia, Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus), and Lilly-pillys are common. • Sea views important.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Sandringham had an average score of 2.72 for Rating 1, approximating the Council wide average of 2.67. A number of streets in Sandringham were determined to have high quality (22%), with only 26% having a less than satisfactory landscape quality. Sandringham is among the areas with the best streetscape amenity in Bayside.

Arrangement Plantings shall be arranged as formal avenues or informal groves of the recommended species where appropriate. Spacings shall depend on species used, but may range from 2 to 15 metres. Courts or “No Through Road” streets may be treated as individual landscape treatments, each with their own particular style. Species used in terminating the end of the street or court bowl should be consistent with those at the entrance, with species from the character area providing the type of planting theme. Street orientation and therefore solar access to homes on the south side of east/west streets should be considered in each particular street to determine the species of street tree to be planted.

H. MOORABBIN - HIGHETT

H. MOORABBIN - HIGHETT Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Generally a variety of exotic and native species; some areas have unique species (Claret Ash, Liquidambar) sparsely planted, with small canopy cover.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Improve residential amenity through street tree planting program, including species

with better canopy cover.” Given the general paucity of street tree planting in this area, it should be given a high priority for streetscape development. The recommendations and analysis in the Urban Character Study provide no clear lead for street tree planting, the recommendation being for species with “better canopy cover”. This could be satisfied by a wide range of species. It is suggested that a predominantly native theme is appropriate to complement the predominantly post-war architecture, and the predominance of native plantings in streets with better landscapes.

General observations • Footpath and kerb materials are uniformly concrete. • Private gardens generally contain few large trees. • Nature strips are generally 2.0 metres or wider. • A good example of a combined planting of Celtis spp. and Flowering Plums (Prunus

spp.) is to be found in Moira Street. • Kelsall Street contains a fine planting of Weeping Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis). • Many vacant planting sites exist in this area.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Moorabbin-Highett had an average score of 2.55 for Rating 1, below the Council wide average of 2.67. Some Moorabbin-Highett streets (30%) were determined to have less than satisfactory landscape quality.

I. CHELTENHAM Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 58

I. CHELTENHAM Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Street trees are established evergreens in residential areas, however they are sparse and small in height in industrial areas” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Adopt a street tree planting program to enhance existing trees.” Native species predominate the best streetscapes in this area. Some good plantings of exotics do exist, and where this occurs retention is recommended. The general emphasis for future plantings in this area focuses on natives. This reinforces the general evergreen character of street and private frontage planting.

General observations • Significant areas of light industrial land use. • Most nature strips are 2.0 metres wide. • Footpaths and kerbs are uniformly concrete. • Many vacant planting sites. • Eucalyptus spp., Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus), Lilly-pillys (Acmena smithii) and

White Cedars (Melia azedarach) are common and doing quite well.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Cheltenham had an average score of 2.43 for Rating 1, well below the Council wide average of 2.67. Some Cheltenham streets (31%) were determined to have less than satisfactory landscape quality.

J. GOLF COURSES


J. GOLF COURSES Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “There is a density of vegetation around this area which blends together well the uses of residential, commercial and recreational.” and “Street trees are more exotic than native, with the Golf Course giving an impression of dense vegetation.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “The Golf Course ‘rural feel’ should be maintained.” • “Protect and promote large scale landscaping and open space that define districts and

topography.” The best streetscapes in this area are dominated by native plantings. Existing exotic trees (eg Claret Ash (Fraxinus ‘Raywoodi’)) are recommended for replacement by better performing natives. Eucalypts figure prominently. Where exotics are important they are often evergreen, such as the Cypress plantings along many golf course edges. Maintenance of ‘the rural feel’ as recommended by the Urban Character Study, will be best achieved by an emphasis on natives in future street tree planting. Where exotic trees presently make a significant contribution to a high rating street, retention of those species is recommended.

General observations • Many streetscapes enhanced by proximity to park and golf course planting. • Paths and kerbs are uniformly concrete. • Many vacant planting sites. • Trees small and mixed, often having little impact. • Lilly-pillys (Acmena spp.), Narrow leaf Peppermint (Eucalyptus nicholii), and Golden

Ash (Fraxinus excelsior ‘‘Aurea’’ ) are among the trees doing well.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Golf Courses had an average score of 2.67 for Rating 1, approximating the Council wide average of 2.67. Some Golf Course streets (27%) were determined to have less than satisfactory landscape quality.

Street orientation and therefore solar access to homes on the south side of east/west streets should be considered in each particular street to determine the species of street tree to be planted. Commercial Areas Most commercial or shopping precincts within Bayside are poorly planted, with consequent reduced pedestrian amenity. These areas warrant detailed design attention, but should identify with the themes established in the relevant character area.

K. BEAUMARIS Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 70

K. BEAUMARIS Theme The Urban Character Study characterises the area as having: “Substantive vegetation throughout, including private front gardens overwhelmingly well landscaped features and character, i.e., trees.” and recommends in general terms: • “Where there are old established street trees in good condition, they are to remain at all

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” The Urban Character Study notes, among other things, the “native street trees” and the “very Australian” character of Beaumaris streetscapes. Generally, the best streetscapes are evergreen and dominated by mixed native plantings. Many of the large private frontage landscapes include substantial Eucalyptus sp, often Lemon Scented Gum (Eucalyptus citriodora). A predominantly evergreen native feel is recommended for future street tree planting in this precinct.

General observations • Footpaths and kerbs uniformly concrete. • Many large trees on private frontages making a positive contribution to the streetscape. • Strong Eucalypt character common, reinforced by large Eucalypts on private frontages.

Landscape Amenity Ratings Beaumaris had an average score of 2.78 for Rating 1, above the Council wide average of 2.67. A number of streets in Beaumaris were determined to have high quality (25%), with only 14% having a less than satisfactory landscape quality. Beaumaris is clearly among the areas with the highest overall streetscape amenity in Bayside.

Species used in terminating the end of the street or court bowl should be consistent with those at the entrance, with species from the character area providing the type of planting theme. Street orientation is not considered a major issue in Beaumaris as most private frontages throughout the study area are already well planted, as well as reasonably large. Solar access to homes on the south side of east/west streets is therefore not seen as a determinant of the species of street tree to be planted.

costs.” • “Where there is an established avenue of tree planting this should be retained.” • “Indigenous vegetation to be protected.” An emphasis on the use of indigenous and native species in future street tree plantings will enhance the already strong character of this area.

General observations • Mainly concrete footpaths and kerbs. • Many vacant sites • Red Flowering Gum (Eucalyptus ficifolia) and Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) doing

well.

M. KEY STREETS


M. KEY STREETS Within Bayside there is a hierarchy of road types. This is due to several factors including: • the physical length and width of the road • the amount of traffic using the road • location in the municipality ie: main thoroughfare or feeder road from a thoroughfare. These streets also act as gateways to the municipality providing commuters with a ‘snapshot’ of the areas character. Some of these key streets are found in more than one character area of Bayside and therefore need to be treated in different way when tree planting is considered. Accordingly these streets are considered separately as ‘Key Streets’ in this strategy and are identified for priority attention. This “Key Streets” program should focus on the following streets: In general ‘Key Streets’ include highway’s, major and secondary arterial roads and collector roads. Recommended actions for ‘Key Streets’ in the Bayside area is as follows: 1. Nepean Highway

Council has no role in the ongoing management or planning for landscape character along Nepean Highway. This area is under Vic Roads duristiction. Council should lobby Vic Roads to implement a consistent planting theme along Nepean Highway to improve its visual amenity.

2. North Road The Urban Character study indicates that: “North Road is a grand avenue with established mature and substantial street trees.” “Deep “frontage” private gardens provide a wide, very leafy streetscape which is “attractive”. “Large mature trees dominate streetscape”. “Generally wide and deep frontages with established gardens, with wide nature strips.” “Street trees, in places, are fragile.” and recommends in general terms to: “Safeguard existing mature trees” “Maintain existing building setbacks to provide a strong (vegetated) landscaped setting.” “Prepare comprehensive street tree inventory, and management plan, including replanting schedules.” “Prohibit tree removal to private properties.” “Promote undergrounding of services, or at a minimum, bundle overhead cables.” The recommendations are:


North Road (Nepean Hwy to the Foreshore)

Extend unique theme of Pines (Pinus pinaster) and Elms (Ulmus procera) along this section of North Road.

North Road (Hawthorn Road to

In conjunction with the City of Glen Eira and Vic Roads continue planting Golden Ash (Fraxinus excelsior’’Aurea’’).


Nepean Hwy)

North Road (Hawthorn Road to Thomas Street)

Plant a Eucalyptus sp. that will complement the strong avenue in the central median of Spotted Gum (Eucalyptus maculata).

3. Other ‘Key Streets’

St. Kilda Street Continue planting Plane trees using Platanus ‘Autumn Glory’. Planting on the east side of St Kilda St should be of the same species however at 50 metre intervals so as views into the parkland / golf course are relatively unaffected.

New Street Plant vacant sites with Platanus ‘Autumn Glory’ eventually rep[lacing all other species. Work to be instituted on an as required basis.

Cochrane Street (North of North Rd)

Continue avenue of Queensland Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus).

Cochrane Street (South of North Rd)

Establish an avenue of Platanus ‘Autumn Glory’.

The Esplanade Due to high traffic flow , narrow naturestrips and the requirement by residents for unimpeded views over the Bay, street trees should not be planted along the Esplanade. Vegetation from private gardens and the foreshore reserve are the major sources of positive visual amenity.

Martin Street Gardenvale Strip Shopping Precinct (Hamilton to Nepean)

Maintain Golden Ash (Fraxinus excelsior ‘‘Aurea’’) avenue.

Martin Street (St Kilda St to Hamilton)

Strengthen existing avenue of Planes trees.

Martin Street (St.Kilda St to the foreshore)

Remove Tamarisk, west of the existing Elm trees, and plant a species that links the foreshore with this group of Elms.

Bay Street Extend avenue of Golden Elm (Ulmus glabra ‘Lutescens’) from the shopping precinct throughout Bay St.

Union Street (Nepean Hwy to Hawthorn Rd)

Extend avenue of Liquidambar (Liquidambar stracyflua).

Hawthorn Road Tree planting outside residences is to be Red Maple (Acer rubrum). Shopping precincts have there own species.

Thomas Street Plant an avenue of Queensland Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus).

Centre Road Establish an avenue of Platanus ‘Autumn Glory’.

Hampton Street Gradually replace Ash with Cut Leaf Planes (Platanus digitata). Shopping precincts are to have their existing themes continued.


Dendy Street Establish an avenue of Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea).

Marriage Road Continue avenue planting of Golden Ash.

Were Street Gradually plant an avenue of Platanus ‘Autumn Glory’

South Road Extend Eucalypt theme throughout South Road

Cummins Road Due to extremely small naturestrips and high traffic flow tree planting should not be undertaken.

Beach Road Vegetation from private gardens and the foreshore reserve are the major sources of positive visual amenity. Street tree planting should not be undertaken.

Ludstone Street Plant Eucalyptus crenulata to create an avenue.

Bridge Street Continue planting Red Flowering Gum (Eucalyptus ficifolia).

Highett Road Plant Eucalyptus scoparia throughout

Bay Road Extend Queensland Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) throughout.

Bluff Road Continue planting Narrow Leaf Peppermint (Eucalyptus nicholli).

Wickham Road Establish an avenue of Cut Leaf Plane (Platanus digitata).

Reserve Road Establish an avenue of. Queensland Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus) where possible between Bay Rd & Balcombe Rd. Golf Course vegetation will prevent some plantings. Establish an avenue of Allocasurina verticillata between Beach Rd and Balcombe Rd..

Weatherall Road Establish an avenue of Smooth Barked Apple Gum (Angophora costata).

Balcombe Road Establish an avenue of Kanooka (Tristaniopsis laurina).

Charman Road Establish an avenue of appropriate trees in conjunction with the City of Kingston).



Commercial Areas Most commercial or shopping precincts within Bayside are poorly planted, with consequent reduced pedestrian amenity. These areas warrant detailed design attention, but should identify with the themes established in the relevant character area.


Industrial areas Where the land use is industrial, special design attention is required to provide adequate planting opportunities. It is recommended that an industrial area landscape strategy be developed. Negotiation with the industrial businesses in the area will be required.



PART C

APPENDICES


APPENDIX A


IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

APPENDIX A - IMPLEMENTATION A1 General To ensure the overall intent of the Street Tree Planting Strategy is transposed into reality, an implementation process is required. This process should create the desired character in each street, giving residents the opportunity to comment on species selection. Implementation of street tree planting within the Strategy will be dependent on a number of factors. Assessment of these factors will enable a particular process to be selected for implementation for each particular situation. A2 Factors Affecting Street Tree Planting These factors are discussed below, along with information relating to planting strategies which may be used. A2.1 Existing Tree Species The existing planting’s of trees in a street will have a significant effect on the type of trees which can be planted. The effect of these trees is dependent upon their significance in a local or regional sense, the overall health of the trees, and the species present. On the basis of these characteristics, decisions about species selection can be made. The following are situations which occur in Bayside. Species to be planted are identified for each: a) Significant Streets

Existing major streetscapes of the City. Species for these streets are specifically defined in the Strategy.

b) Key Streets

Species as defined in Strategy; these are the major roads running through and around the City.

c) Established Streets

Existing tree species have resulted from a previous Council decision, community consultation process, or as a result of the implementation of this Strategy.

d) Undefined Streets

These streets don’t have a pre-established theme other than that defined by the relevant character theme. They may be grouped according to existing tree species as follows:


i) Conforming - Pre-dominant species conforms to the species list in this Strategy; ii) Non-Conforming - Pre-dominant species does not conform to the

Streetscape Strategy; iii) Unsuitable - Pre-dominant species are unsuitable as street trees and are

no longer planted within the City (eg: Lagunaria patersonia); or iv) Mixed - No pre-dominant species exists.

A2.2 Planting Processes Having assessed the structure and style of the existing street trees, some decisions will be required about the process to be implemented to facilitate the planting of any new tree(s). Where full street planting is to be undertaken any actions would usually be preceded by a consultation process. The range of options available for most street tree planting is as follows: a) Non Planting - Site conditions preclude tree planting. Other landscape options are to be canvassed. b) Plant tree - This may result from one of the following processes;

i) Dominant - Plant the pre-dominant species in the street if it conforms with the species list for the area contained in the Strategy. ii) Strategy - Plant the species listed within the Strategy or previous

Council decision. iii) Notify - Plant species selected from within the Strategy or previous

from Council decision. Residents notified before planting. This process will be undertaken in all streets not covered in the previous sections.

iv) Consult - Should notification to residents of the species selected cause

a concern, or no clear species selection be apparent, planting would occur only after implementation of full community consultation process.

(Note: Dominant and Strategy planting’s would not require any notification or consultation, except for the supply of a brochure about the tree and maintenance thereof after planting. A2.3 Planting Style The Strategy defines three planting styles. The styles nominated for each character area of the City will further enhance the existing landscape themes. Each style will require a different resident approval exercise when implementing a full community consultation process.


a) Formal Avenue These are created by the formal planting of streets as avenues of single tree species, or alternating species, at standard intervals. This style provides a strong framework for older established areas, and long straight road reserves, and usually involves the use of exotic tree species. Residents would be offered a choice of suitable species as defined in the Strategy. One species would be selected for planting on the basis of the views of the majority of residents.

b) Informal Grove

The use of multiple species in a random format, both in spacings and species, is suggested for areas with a more native character. This principle of informal spacings and species is designed to mimic the way natural bushland areas develop.

c) Landscaped

Some areas of the City require specialised attention as a result of high pedestrian or vehicular traffic (eg: shopping centres, industrial areas) or due to their intimate nature (eg: court bowls or road closures). Specific landscape planning of these areas will provide a more appropriate outcome than that normally implemented for other streets in the City. Residents/proprietors would be requested to approve a specific landscape design for a street. This plan would then be implemented. This process would apply to most courts and some specialised streets (eg: commercial and industrial areas).

A2.4 Priority Each year Council provides an allocation within its budget for the planting of street trees. As with all financial resources these funds should be spent in achieving the greatest benefits possible for the residents of the City. To enable this to be achieved, annual prioritisation will be required to achieve this objective. Prioritisation of all street tree planting has been undertaken as part of the development of this strategy, by the use of amenity landscape ratings for each street in Bayside. This would ensure effective and efficient use of resources. Priority actions are as follows: a) Replace whole streets identified in the Strategy as Priority 1 and 2 streets.

Existing healthy trees would normally be retained unless they were deemed to be inappropriate or causing problems.

b) Replace individual trees, resulting from resident requests or Council removals. c) In-fill planting of Significant Streets and Key Streets identified in the Strategy,

to ensure the quality and structure of these streetscapes is retained. d) Remove and replace unsuitable tree species, which are causing, or may cause

hazards (eg: Lagunaria patersonii).


e) Remove and replace trees in streets on lower priority listings provided in the Strategy. Resident requests for street replacements would be a factor in determining selections for actions for similarly graded streets.

An annual listing of streets will be developed on the basis of the above priorities, and a staging program developed to enable implementation within the framework of the Annual Plan.


A2.5 Species for Planting The Strategy has nominated a range of tree species for each character area to enhance the existing landscape. Species are classified as large, medium or small, depending on their ability to perform within a specified naturestrip width. The species have been selected to ensure that they achieve the required landscape structure, whilst not creating maintenance or safety concerns. Issues such as shedding of fruit, bark and leaves, presence of thorns, prunability, mature height and growth rate will all influence the species selected. On the basis of the species selected, the following criteria would be considered when purchasing: a) Size of Plant

The initial size of the tree to be planted will depend on the type of tree selected. In general, deciduous trees are more readily available in larger sizes than evergreen species. The size of the tree is limited by the size of the rootball, and the ability to easily plant the tree in the space provided. In this instance, the location of underground and overhead services, and nature strip width are limiting factors. Further, the practicality of planting is maximised at a particular tree size, after which the cost of planting the tree becomes uneconomical.

b) Species Availability

Evergreen trees are generally available most of the year. However, availability of advanced specimens of many of the species nominated in the Strategy is currently limited. Deciduous trees are generally only available during the winter months. New techniques are now extending this planting period.

c) Overhead Electricity Wires

Where a rapidly growing large tree is to be planted (eg: Eucalyptus spp), it may be appropriate to plant a smaller species of a similar type, where overhead wires have not been changed to aerial bundled conductors (ABC) or relocated under ground. This interim measure may reduce damage to trees as a result of wire clearing, and enable future planting’s (post- ABC) to be implemented in harmony with interim trees.


APPENDIX B

DATA COLLECTION


APPENDIX B - DATA COLLECTION B1 Survey Method The method employed to assess and rate streetscapes was based primarily on the collection of relevant data by field survey. The field sheet developed for this purpose is attached as Appendix C. The top half of the field sheet contains data fields to be used to identify and review the overall health of the main species in each street. This information was collected by specialist arborists. The lower half of the field sheet comprises data fields to be used for evaluation of the landscape amenity of the streetscape. This part of the field sheet was completed by a landscape architect. The data was subsequently stored on a data base using Microsoft Access software. The data was then analysed as set out below to produce quality ratings for streetscape planting’s throughout Bayside . The data was further analysed to assist with the production of recommended planting lists for street trees in the various character areas. B2 The Field Data Sheet: An Explanation B2.1 Data Collected by Arborist The various elements of the data sheet are discussed individually below: Street Name Self explanatory. Section. (Where a street has more than one section) More than one data sheet would be completed for a street where: • the street was located in more than one area (see Urban Character Area below); • within a given area, there was a marked change of character in the streetscape

planting, or in the profile of the naturestrip. Naturally, changes of character due to changes in planting are a matter of degree. It was only strong changes of character within a street which resulted in the completion of a separate data sheet for that section of the street.

Bayside Zone Map No. This refers to a series of maps of the City of Bayside, with associated lists of streets. These maps and lists were used to organise field work, and to ensure the survey was comprehensive. A side benefit of the fieldwork has been the improvement of the street data base supplied, with the identification and inclusion of missing streets.


Urban Character Area Immediately prior to the commencement of this study, consultants for Bayside City Council (Urban Consulting Group) completed an Urban Character Study for Bayside. This study identified a number of Urban Character Areas with loosely defined geographical boundaries. Readers are referred to that report for a definition of the methodology used to define these areas. In order to maximise consistency between this report and the Urban Character Study, the Urban Character Area within which each street falls is noted on the field data sheet. This allows analysis of the data collected on a area basis. Street Orientation Information on street orientation was collected in order to assist decision making on tree species to be recommended. This information enables some assessment of possible micro-climatic consequences of a particular tree in a particular street. Species Composition These fields allow the collection of data about the major planting themes of individual streets. Information was not collected about every tree in every street. Many streets included five or more different trees species. In such cases information was collected about the visually dominant two or three species. In some extreme cases where a very wide variety of species is used, with no dominant theme or specimens, trees would be recorded as “mixed natives” or similar, with comment and recommendation fields then providing further detail. Species diversity also was captured to some extent by the planting pattern information collected. (see ‘Patterns’ below.) The other fields to the right of Species Composition collected data regarding street trees, including tree type (evergreen or deciduous), approximate diameter of canopy, degree of maturity, degree of disfigurement (and apparent cause of such disfigurement) and general health with reasons if not good. Significant Street Tree Specimens This field was intended to indicate any trees which could be considered for inclusion on the separate Bayside Register of Significant Trees (the Register). In practice the information was collected for outstanding specimens according to definitions and criteria established by the National Trust, and explained in the ‘Bayside Register of Significant Trees’. Identification and location data was collected for trees in the street or on private property. Information was also collected about truly outstanding specimens on public land (excluding parks and reserves). This information helps to establish performance benchmarks for particular species in particular.


Management Comments This field was used at the discretion of the aborist to describe any urgent management attention that might be required. This field is also intended to be used subsequently by Council to plan and record future management activities for street trees. B2.2 Data Collected by Landscape Architect The data outlined below was collected by a landscape architect; Footpath Material, Kerb and Channel Material This information was collected to gain an understanding of the nature of the hard landscape components of the street, and the degree of consistency of the material fabric. Inconsistencies might include a change from asphalt to concrete, a marked change in footpath width, or a change in the presence/absence of paths in any given street. Electricity Conductors Information was collected on the presence/ absence of power lines, and the side of the street on which they were found. Information on voltage ratings and so on is held by Council in a separate data base. Nature Strip Width of Grass. Information was collected on the presence/absence and the approximate width of nature strips, to assist with consideration of species selection for street trees. Width was visually assessed to the nearest 0.5 metres. It is not claimed that this information is highly accurate, but visual assessments were undertaken conservatively so that dimensions given are the minimum width of the relevant nature strip. Visual assessments were confirmed by periodic actual measurements to ensure reasonable accuracy. A maximum figure of 10 metres was used, where the street abutted a park or reserve. Private Garden Contribution This field required a subjective assessment (high to low) by the landscape architect of the contribution to the streetscape by private gardens. In the practical application of the data collected, the rating high means a positive contribution, medium reflects no impact, and the rating low means that private frontages have a negative effect on streetscape quality. The comment field was used to record any other relevant matters particular to private frontages in the street in question. It is also important to note that where a park, school, or similar use exists adjacent to a street, the contribution of edge planting to streetscape amenity was assessed as though it were a private frontage.


Landscape Amenity This field records a subjective rating for the contribution made by the street tree planting to the landscape amenity of the street. This judgement is made on an intuitive and holistic basis without specific analysis of the contributing factors, rating each street on a scale of 0 to 5. This rating reflects the quality of the contribution of street tree planting to overall streetscape quality. Despite the fact that this component of data is intuitive, the assessment owes much to the underlying assumptions about what factors contribute to street tree amenity. The main assumptions are set out below:

• Simplicity preferred to complexity. Those streets with consistent patterns of one or two species were generally (but not universally) favoured with higher scores than those streets where planting consisted of a wide variety of species.

• Commonality of form is generally preferred to diversity of form. • Trees that throw substantial shade and have an ameliorating impact on

micro-climate would attract higher scores than trees which make little contribution in that regard

• Size - larger trees generally attract higher ratings than small trees. • Continuity - streets which were fully planted tended to rate higher than

streets where significant gaps in planting were found. • Pattern - streets where the form and density of planting created a strong

pattern (perhaps same species, perhaps simply same forms, perhaps pleasingly contrasting forms in alternating patterns) rated more highly than streets which offered no such strong patterning.

The comment field allowed the inclusion of any special information which might help to elucidate the main reason or reasons for the landscape amenity rating provided. Evaluation Each street was given either a positive or negative rating in respect to a number of criteria: • Scale

Do the species used show or show potential to develop, sufficient size to make a generally positive contribution to the streetscape? Plants do not have to be the “right” scale but simply sufficient to make a positive impact.

• Species Can the species used be expected to grow well enough in the particular environment in which they are planted to make a positive contribution to the streetscape?


• Pattern

Is the pattern of street tree planting making a positive or negative contribution to streetscape amenity?

• Canopy as % of Spacing

Given the size of the tree canopies, the density of planting, and the number of missing trees, what percentage of the nature strip was shaded by the tree canopy? This figure again is somewhat intuitive, since judgement has to be made in the absence of precise measurement. This element is intended to assist estimation of the significance of the street tree planting as a whole visually and climatically.

Pattern Some pre-field work study identified common planting patterns shown on the data sheet. Not every conceivable pattern of planting could be included on the data sheet. It is therefore important to understand how the various patterns were interpreted on site: Pattern 1

This pattern was chosen when: • all trees used were the same species or; • more than one species was used, but the forms and colouration were so

similar as to create the impression of a consistent planting. Pattern 2

This pattern was used where quite different but consistent species are used along each side of the street.

Pattern 3

This pattern was used when: • a strong alternating pattern of planting was evident. This may be a two

species pattern, but also three species pattern where the patternation is strictly alternating or;

• the character of the streetscape is dominated by two species, both used on both sides of the road, but not necessarily in a strictly alternating pattern.

Pattern 4

This pattern was used where one side of the street had a strong consistent character of some kind, and the other side of the street had a much more diverse and incoherent character.

Pattern 5

This pattern indicates the absence of pattern. This option was selected when: • numerous species in no particular pattern or order were found in a street

or; • there were insufficient street trees to discern any pattern.

Pattern 6 Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 99

This pattern was selected when missing trees in a previous Pattern 1 street were being replaced with a new and different Pattern 1, resulting in a combination of mature trees of one species with immature specimens of another species.

APPENDIX D EVALUATION METHODS


APPENDIX D - EVALUATION METHODS D1 Landscape Amenity of Street Trees: Rating methods The data sheet in Appendix C provides an opportunity to award the street tree planting a quality rating in terms of its contribution to the landscape amenity of the street. This rating can be used as a measure for ranking and comparing the existing quality of street tree planting’s. However, it is also clear that the overall landscape amenity of the street is influenced by other factors besides the street trees themselves. Private garden frontages, for example, can make a substantial contribution to the landscape amenity of the street, even in the absence of street trees. Width of nature strip, detailing of kerbs, the pattern of tree planting, as well as canopy size, can all influence visual perception of the quality of the street tree planting. The three rating methods used are outlined in further detail below.: Rating 1: The score awarded by the landscape architect for “Landscape Amenity of Street Trees”. The assumptions underlying this rating are detailed in Appendix B (Landscape Amenity). Rating 2: This adds the intuitive assessment of the landscape architect of private garden contribution to the score of ‘Landscape Amenity of Street Trees to provide an overall rating for streetscape quality. Rating 3: This rating attempts to qualify the Rating 2 by the objective consideration of other data collected. In order to derive the Rating 3 for the landscape amenity of the street, the starting point is the intuitive rating provided by the landscape architect under ‘Landscape Amenity of Street Trees’ and ‘Private Garden Contribution’. This score is weighted to contribute 50% of the rating score. Other elements were then given a positive or negative score as shown below. These scores were added together, and weighted to comprise the other 50% of the Rating 3 score. Weighting’s used are shown over in Table 1.

Table 1 D2 Details of Rating methods Rating 1 This rating of the landscape amenity of street trees employs a score range of 0 through 5. In practice, scores tended to group as follows, with separation between scores being a matter of degree: 0 None or few trees, trees small 0.5 None or few trees, trees small 1 None or few trees, trees small 1.5 Few trees, trees small or disfigured 2 Few trees, trees small or disfigured 2.5 Some larger trees, but too many gaps , or other major fault 3 A bare pass, with some strong element but also some significant shortfall 3.5 Above average, with some distinguishing strong point 4 A successful streetscape, satisfactory now, but capable of improvement 4.5 A successful streetscape, satisfactory now, but capable of improvement 5 An outstanding mature avenue with no major faults Rating 2 Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 105

This rating adds the landscape amenity rating to the rating of private garden contribution.

Private Garden Contribution Addition to Landscape Amenity Rating High 2

Medium 0.5 Low -1.0

The two ratings together provide an intuitive assessment of the overall streetscape quality, with private garden contribution weighted to provide 40% of the combined score. The addition of private garden contribution allows streets which have the same landscape amenity rating to be prioritised for further development work by also considering the contribution provided by private garden frontages. Among streets with the same landscape amenity rating, those with lower private garden contributions may be considered a higher priority for further work. Rating 3 The following scoring method was used to produce a rating of the street based on the landscape ratings, but modified as shown below: Footpath Material: If the same material is used throughout, add 0.5. If the material used is inconsistent either along the street section or across the street section, subtract 0.5. Kerb and Channel Material: If the same material is used throughout, add 0.5. If the material used is inconsistent either along the street section or across the street section, subtract 0.5. Electricity Conductor: If power lines present, add 0. If power lines not present add 1. Nature Strip Grass Width: • If less than 1.5 metres wide on either side add 0 for each side

less than 1.5 wide. • If 1.5 to less than 2.0 metres wide add 0.25 for each

side which meets the condition.

• If from 2.0 to less than 3.0 metres wide add 0.5 for each

side which meets this condition.

• If from 3.0 to 4.5 wide add 0.75 for each

side that meets the condition.

• If greater than 4.5 wide add 1.0 for each

side which meets the condition.

Scale: If positive add 0.5. If negative subtract 0.5. Bayside Street Tree Planting Strategy (December 1997) 106

Species: If positive add 0.5. If negative subtract 0.5. Pattern: If positive add 0.5. If negative subtract 0.5. Disfigurement: If positive add 0.5. If negative subtract 0.5. Canopy as % of Spacing: If <5, subtract 1.0 If 5, subtract 0.5 If 10, add 0.5 If 15, add 0.75 If 20, add 1.0 If 25, add 1.25 If 30, add 1.5 If > 30, add 2.0 Pattern: If the pattern is 1, add 1.0 If the pattern is 2, add 0.5 If the pattern is 3, add 0.75 If the pattern is 4, add 0.25 If the pattern is 5, add 0 If the pattern is 6, add 0.75 D3 How the Ratings Determine Priorities On a character area basis, streets are ranked in order of Rating 1 score (i.e the contribution of the trees in a street to the landscape amenity of that street, known also as the Landscape Amenity Rating). This ranking does not allow a comparative rating of each street since many streets achieve the same landscape amenity rating. The streets are therefore further sorted according to the level of private garden contribution to the landscape amenity of the street (Rating 2). The rationale here is that streets which have a low private garden contribution would have a higher priority for action than streets with a high private garden contribution, for any given landscape amenity rating. This process still results in groups of streets having the same priority. Rating 3 is therefore used as the final sorting device. This results in good discrimination, with generally small groups of two or three streets having the same priority level within any given character area. The last step in using this method of establishing priorities is to refer to the landscape architects recommendation for the streets in question. This will usually assist in further discrimination of priorities within these remaining small groups. These priorities could then be confirmed or modified by site visits.

Table 2 Average Ratings by Area. Six areas had average scores for Rating 1 which were above the average score for all streets in the municipality. These were, in order, East Brighton, The Crescents, Beaumaris, Sandringham, North Brighton, and Brighton. For Rating 2, which takes into account private garden contribution, five areas had average scores above the average score for all streets in the municipality. These were, in order, Beaumaris, Golf Courses, East Brighton, The Crescents, and Sandringham. The higher rating for Golf Courses when private garden contribution is taken onto account reflects to some extent the contribution of golf course edges to landscape amenity of adjacent streets. It is noteworthy that the private garden contribution is very strong in Beaumaris, but conversely not necessarily above average in Brighton and North Brighton. Using Rating 3, areas having average scores above the average score for all streets in the municipality included Golf Courses, Beaumaris, East Brighton, The Crescents, and Sandringham, the same as achieved above average scores for Rating 2. Clearly these areas represent areas of relatively high streetscape quality compared to others in Bayside.


APPENDIX E STREET TREE SPECIES

SUMMARY


APPENDIX E - STREET TREE SPECIES SUMMARY Where the term “Infill only” is used, it is an indication that the tree is recommended only where a strong planting including that species is already present. It is not recommended as a tree for streets where a new theme is being developed. Key: UP = This species has been identified as coping well with being pruned around powerlines.
