Just a quick update on the fact that I am assisting in presenting a seminar called "Trees and Development : Roots to Best Practice", being held at Victoria Park Function Centre on the 19th March 2010.
Trees and Development: Roots to Best Practice
The seminar is aimed at explaining the role within urban development of the recently released Australian Standard AS4970 Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
Two of the largest Local Government Aurthorities in Southeast Queensland; Brisbane and the GoldCoast are in the midst of adopting AS4970 into the assessment process within their planning schemes, and there is little doubt that the majority of other LGA's will follow suit.
For your readers' convenience...
