Statement of Significance

What is significant?

An individual Algerian Oak tree located in the back corner of a private property in a residential area of Kennington.

How is it significant?

This Algerian Oak tree is significant for scientific and social reasons at the Regional level.

Why is it significant?

This Algerian Oak is significant for its height of 17 m (it was likely pollarded). It is the largest tree in the neighbourhood and the size is considered large for the Bendigo region especially considering its relatively young age (for an Oak). This tree is also significant for its contribution to the landscape as it has a wide spreading and well structured, full canopy which is rarely found in residential zones, particularly in this region.
