The assessment of the landscape significance of a tree is an essentially subjective process. The landscape significance process used in this report takes into
account the following factors;

e Whether the tree is in a sound condition

e Whether the tree is typically formed and developed for its species

Whether the tree has a SULE of more than 15 years

Whether the tree is one of the larger and more aesthetically valuable in its locality
Whether the removal of the tree will diminish cultural or historical values
Whether the removal of the tree will transform the landscape

A tree may be identified as one of three categories of landscape significance;
H=high, M=medium or L=low

Tree Retention Rating (TRR)

Based on a combination the tree assessment and the landscape significance rating, the healthiest and most significant trees are rated as a high priority for
retention.

Rating scale for retention; Significant trees that are worthy of retention=3, unsafe and dying trees or trees not warranting retention=1-0

Myrtaceae, Melaleuca, Quinquenervia Tree 1 has a SULE of less than 15 years and is in a senescent and
unsafe condition and is not typically formed for this species
