(2) In 1998 Main Roads assessed this section of Highway and tree limbs assessed as being a danger to traffic were pruned. A similar assessment was undertaken in September 2001 and September 2002 and following those assessments dead limbs presenting a potential danger were pruned. A further assessment is proposed for January 2004 following which any pruning required will be undertaken. Pruning of hazardous limbs occurs on both living and dead trees. No action to totally remove trees is proposed at this stage. (3) Not applicable.
