Notwithstanding,any establishment and updating of the Significant Tree Register is required to follow a certainprocedure, and any amendment (ie. removal or adding trees) would require the endorsement of<strong>Council</strong>.Importantly, draft Part 11 Tree Management includes a reference to the Significant tree Register.It requires that any development application or application for a permit to carry out tree worksinvolving an item listed on <strong>Council</strong>’s Significant Tree Register, will be referred to the HeritageProtection Sub-Committee for consideration and then <strong>Council</strong> for determination.<strong>Council</strong> staff has prepared a Nomination and Assessment Process for Inclusion of a nominatedTree(s) on the Significant Tree Register as shown in Attachment 2 of this report.In summary, the proposed procedure would ensure that the owner(s) of nominated trees are:informed of the nomination as soon as possible;provided with the opportunity to make representations to <strong>Council</strong> concerning thenomination; andgranted the opportunity to address <strong>Council</strong>’s Planning and Environment Committee(and possibly the Heritage Protection Sub-Committee).The adoption of this procedure by <strong>Council</strong> will enable staff to utilise it in the future assessment ofnominated significant trees.(e)(i)Draft Part 12 Telecommunication FacilitiesSummary of Existing Legislative Framework for Telecommunication Facilities<strong>Council</strong> is the consent authority for telecommunication facilities that require development consentunder the terms of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
