The situation
Aircraft landing at an airfield near Apollo Bay need a clear approach at the right angle and height. A line of coastal scrub and trees along the edge kept growing up into that space.
Why we didn’t just lop it again
For years, the trees had been lopped and hacked back to keep the approach clear. Lopped trees grow back, often faster and messier, so the job comes round again and the cost keeps adding up. After talking it through, the decision was to remove them completely and avoid that ongoing maintenance.
The work
The crew cleared the vegetation along the airfield edge, with the chipper, a tracked forestry mulcher and the stump grinder on site, and left open ground where the scrub had been.
The result
The approach is clear, and it should stay that way without someone coming back to lop the same trees every few years.
