At the hearing on 23 January 2020, SCAP approved the development plan by Australasian Property Developments for the Coles site in Norwood. The Norwood Cork Tree will be maintained in the current position, with an enlarged garden bed and permeable paving replacing the asphalt in nearby car parks and footpath. The River Red Gum in the carpark will also have an enlarged garden bed, as will the River Red Gum on the north-east part of the site.There will be removal of several other regulated and significant trees on the George St boundary and the southern boundary, as well as mature plane trees in the car park.
The revamped car park will be landscaped with replacement vegetation and a vine-covered pergola will cover the access road on the southern entry from George St.
The cork tree will be protected by fencing during the construction period, expected to take around 20 months from September 2020. The developer has agreed to install signage near the cork tree detailing its historical significance.
Details of the decision can be downloaded in the Minutes of the meeting from the SCAP page.
