    Statement of significance:

    This tree fulfils the criteria of:

    • Unique location or context
    • Outstanding size (Girth height spread)
    • Aesthetic value
    • Outstanding example of the species

    This large Algerian Oak is located along the Hawthorn Road frontage of the historic Caulfield Park and makes a major contribution to the landscape.

    The tree is of outstanding size for canopy spread, which is wider than the tree is tall.


    The tree has a high visual presence within the park and for road users and is a well-formed example of the species that is striking in its location. It provides substantial amenity and benefit to park users and the wider community. The loss of this tree would represent a significant diminishing of the surrounding area.


    This tree is an outstanding example of the species at the local, municipality-wide level due to its good health, structure and maturity.
