Tree Protection Zone Fencing
What is a tree protection zone ( TPZ )?
A Tree Protection Zone is a designated area around a tree that is to be protected when construction or development works are being undertaken nearby to protect and preserve the tree, the tree roots and the soil around it.
Why do we need tree protection zones?
Tree Protection Zones are extremely important to protect, preserve and maintain existing and mature trees from damage that may be caused during excavation and construction works onsite when building a new home. Trees can be damaged by vehicles, high foot traffic, machinery and soil disturbance.
What are the Australian Standards for tree protection zones?
The Australian Standards are under Protection of trees on development sites AS4970-2009 and is a standard guide for the best practices for planning and protecting trees on development sites.
When do TPZs need to be calculated and how do we calculate them?
Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) need to be calculated for each tree requiring protection. The radius of the TPZ fencing is calculated for each tree by multiplying its DBH (truck diameter measured at 1.4 metres up from ground level) by 12.
