                                      Assessment comments
                                      A worthwhile project, especially as guidance for the Trees for Tourism, but with
                                      fewer benefits to the community than several of the other projects applied for.
                                      There may be options to incorporate this work into current or near future funding
                                      provided to the trail as part of the delivery of the Noosa Trail Masterplan.
