Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla), Royal Avenue

Statement of significance:

This tree fulfils the criteria of:

• Outstanding Size (girth height spread)
• Aesthetic Value

This Norfolk Island Pine is of outstanding size regarding its height for the local area. It is the tallest private tree in the vicinity, and due to the removal of several mature public trees for the level crossing removal works, this will become the tallest tree entirely.

This is a healthy example of the species that makes a major contribution to the local landscape and neighbourhood character, providing substantial amenity to the community. The tree is prominently located within the front yard of a corner property and has significant visual presence from the public realm.

This tree has good potential for continued healthy growth and becoming a truly iconic specimen for the region.
