Arborcultural Work Great Western Highway, Medlow Bath and Memorial Park, Blackheath.

Blackheath Memorial Park

Blackheath Memorial Park is recognised as a highly significant park to the township of Blackheath and the upper Blue Mountains in general. A major contributing factor to its significance is the historic plantings. Many of these trees are approaching senescence. Council commissioned a report in 2009 to gain an understanding of whether any of the trees are a danger to the public and what to do to protect the landscape integrity as the older trees start to fail.

GWH Medlow Bath

An avenue of mature Radiata Pines grows alongside the Great Western Highway at Medlow Bath, from the service station at the south to the railway station at the north. The avenue is listed in the Blue Mountains Local Environmental Plan 2005, Schedule 6, where it is identified as having state significance.

Some of the trees have declined in condition over recent years. Stresses are evident in trees with sparse canopies or trees that are dead. Several limbs have failed and one entire tree fell recently.

These issues require input to determine the management options to maintain the amenity of the area and of this high-profile thoroughfare through the Blue Mountains.

In considering management options, the trees are to be considered as a stand rather than as individual specimens.
