Tree Preservation Order - Regulatory Reference Tweed Development Control Plan SectionA16 - Preservation of Trees or Vegetation Trees are of vital importance in improving the visual quality of an area. The predominance of tree cover both in bushland and urban areas forms an integral part of the character of Tweed Shire. Trees play an important part in: providing habitat and food for wildlife maintaining the health of our lands and our living environment; protecting soil and water supplies; providing shelter and protection from predators for many birds, animals and insect species. acting as extensions and links between core bushland, as bushland corridors (particularly in urban areas); reduce the effects of sunlight, summer heat, reflection, pollution, humidity, wind, glare, refraction and noise; and acting as the "lungs of the earth", taking in and storing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, thus filtering the air, and significantly reducing airborne pollution. With these principles in mind, Council’s DCP A16 Preservation of Trees and Vegetation and old Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) seek to retain trees that contribute to the general health and well being of the Shire’s residents.树木保护令（Tree Preservation Order）—— 法规依据：特威德开发管控计划（Tweed Development Control Plan）A16章节——树木与植被保护。树木对于提升区域景观质量至关重要。林地与城区的林木覆盖优势，是塑造特威德郡地域特色不可或缺的组成部分。树木在诸多方面发挥着关键作用：为野生动物提供栖息场所与食物来源；维护土地与人居环境的健康；保护土壤与水资源；为众多鸟类、动物及昆虫物种提供庇护，使其免受天敌侵扰；作为核心林地的延伸与连接纽带，构建林地廊道（尤其在城区范围内）；缓解日照、夏季高温、反射效应、污染、湿度、风力、眩光、折射与噪声的影响；同时作为‘地球之肺’，吸收并储存二氧化碳、释放氧气，以此净化空气，大幅降低大气污染物含量。基于上述原则，特威德郡议会的开发管控计划A16《树木与植被保护》以及旧版树木保护令（Tree Preservation Orders，TPOs）旨在保留能够助力郡内居民整体健康与生活福祉的树木。
