The purpose of this report is to provide clarity, advice and guidance for the existing trees within
the site that have previously been surveyed but not catalogued.

Consult Arborist has reviewed the supplied documentation relating to the site, the existing
trees/vegetation and the site layout taking into consideration the design, future use and
buildability of the Project. This PAIA report aims to provide guidance and direction with the
practical consideration of the retention and removal of trees on site and within the adjacent
properties.

This Preliminary Arboricultural Impact Appraisal is guided by the AS4970-2009 Protection of
trees on development sites. The subject trees as detailed within the report that are deemed to
be affected by the proposed development received an International Society of Arboriculture
(ISA) Basic Level 2 assessment with consideration to the design and future use of the project.

This report does not take into consideration changes to the site design or activities of which
Consult Arborist has not been requested to comment on or been advised of.

This report does not take into consideration extreme weather events or future pest and disease
outbreak which may affect the tree’s health, condition and retainability.

All assessments of the retained trees have been made visually and include the use of basic
tools and techniques, i.e. cavity probing, minor root collar excavation, measuring tapes and
devices and photography to gather information. No additional specialist equipment was used
and no conclusive comments on what may have or may be happening within the internal
structure of the tree will be made. No tissue or soil samples have been collected or submitted
for testing.

The information contained in this report is based on a visual inspection of the palms/trees and
their locations, species, health and condition at the time of inspection. The additional
information provided is the author’s opinion and is a ‘snapshot in time’ of the specific trees’
health and condition at the time of the quoted inspection and no guarantee can be given that
faults or issues may not arise in the future.
