What is a Declared Site?
A Declared Site is an area of land that was once the tree protection zone of a Registered Tree that was killed by other than natural causes. Approval is required to undertake groundwork activities in a Declared Site. The Conservator may approve groundwork in a Declared Site if satisfied that the proposed activity, and any other prohibited groundwork done with or without approval in the past 12 months, would be less than 10% of the total area of the Declared Site.
