(5) No. The Eucalyptus mannifera are currently in poly woven bags with handles. This allows for greater ease of handling – both manually and by machine, a key consideration given that at the time of planting each tree will weigh in excess of 150 kg.
(6) The Delivery and Maintenance of a fully landscaped Stage 1 corridor is an important component of the Project Agreement between the Territory and Canberra Metro. The responsibility for a successful landscape outcome sits with Canberra Metro, and is included in the contracted cost of the works.
(7) The Territory is aware that a number of individual Eucalyptus mannifera trees currently at Yarralumla Nursery will not be suitable for planting in the Northbourne median, as a result of a number of factors, including size, form, bark damage from environmental pests, and irrigation failures for specific individuals.
As with any major landscape procurement exercise, suitable redundancy in the number of plants procured is required to ensure that the required number of individual trees, healthy and of the required form are available for planting.
