    Statement of significance:

    This tree fulfils the criteria of:

    • Unique location or context,
    • Outstanding size (girth height spread),
    • Aesthetic value.

    These 7 Camphor Laurel trees occur in a unique location and context across 2 street frontages in an area of Glen Eira already recognised for the significant benefit mature canopy trees provide to the neighbourhood character. As a group they make a major contribution to the local landscape.

    While 3 of the trees are individually large enough with outstanding canopy spreads to be considered significant, it is together that the trees provide even greater value. The unusually close spacing of the trees ensures their canopies are entwined, forming one large, healthy green arch that reaches out over the road surface.

    These trees are a striking and iconic feature of the surrounding area, as they provide substantial amenity to the community.
    Group.
