Statement of significance:

This tree fulfils the criteria of:

  • Outstanding Size (girth height spread)
  • Aesthetic value

This large, mature tree is one of the largest trees in the local area and is especially significant due to its proximity to busy North Road and the Ormond shopping village which lacks any large trees. The tree has an outstanding canopy spread and impressive trunk girth over 3.7m around.

The tree is prominently located in a garden be along the street frontage of a public carpark. It is striking in the landscape and provides significant amenity to the community as the canopy coverage gives shade to a large portion of hard surfaces such as the footpath, roadway and carpark. This canopy shading is vital in mitigating the Urban Heat Island effect.
