12 D ISCLAIMER AND L IMITATIONS OF L IABILITY
The information contained in this report has been prepared independently, free of any bias and represents the honest opinion of
the consulting arborist.

All data is based on visual inspection of the tree(s) and their location at the time of writing unless otherwise stated. The report
includes opinions, advice, and recommendations based on information gathered during site inspections conducted by the author
and data supplied by the Client (Town Planning Alliances ).

All information received from the Client shall be deemed to be true, accurate and up to date.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree Consult Arborist Pty Ltd is not liable to you or any person or entity for any loss of or
damage (including loss or damage resulting from negligence), either directly or indirectly, arising from your use of the information
presented in this report. In no event will the author be liable for any lost revenue or profits, or for any special, indirect,
consequential, or incidental damages (however caused and regardless of the theory of liability) arising out of or related to your
use of this information, even if the author has been advised of the possibility of such a loss or damage.

Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot be held responsible for the effects of non-conforming works carried out by inadequately qualified
staff or without the supervision of Consult Arborist.

Unless otherwise stated, this report may not be used in a court of law or any legal proceeding without the prior consent of Consult
Arborist Pty Ltd. The author is not required to provide testimony or attend court based on this report unless subsequent contractual
arrangements have been made.

The information contained in this report pertains solely to the tree(s) that were inspected on 2/10/2025 and reflects their condition
at the time of the inspection.

No warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, is made that the problems or deficiencies identified in the plants or property will
not arise in the future. Likewise, remedial treatments cannot be guaranteed.

Arborists cannot detect every condition that could potentially lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living organisms
that fail in ways not fully understood, and conditions can often remain hidden within a tree or below ground. Consult Arborist Pty
Ltd, and the author cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances or for a specified period.

This report does not account for the possibility of extreme weather events or other factors beyond the control of Consult Arborist
Pty Ltd.

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s services, such as property
boundaries, ownership issues, disputes between neighbours, sightlines, landlord-tenant matters and similar concerns. Consult
Arborist Pty Ltd cannot address such issues unless complete and accurate information is provided. Furthermore, Consult Arborist
Pty Ltd cannot be held responsible for the authorisation or non-authorisation of any recommended treatment or remedial measure.

Arborists are specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures
to enhance the beauty and health of trees and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees. While trees can be managed, they
cannot be controlled. To live or work near a tree involves inherent risks, and the only way to eliminate all risks associated with a
tree is to remove it entirely.

Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of Consult Arborist Pty Ltd or to seek additional advice.
