Tree Maintenance Friday 11 October

Leave a comment

Facilities management will be completing tree works on the river margin of Haere-roa (Avon) stream on University Drive, in the vicinity of the Recreation Centre and Recreation Centre Offices, this Friday 11 October.

Contractors will be working from 8.00am until 4.30pm removing damaged branches and completing some crown reduction to improve the tree form and shape.

What do you need to do?

While contractors are working:

  • Be aware of moving machinery, and machinery noise.
  • Do not enter the fenced off area.

We appreciate your consideration as we perform these essential maintenance works.

Please direct any enquiries to FMAssist@canterbury.ac.nz
