                        qualified person* and endorsed through an Operational Works approval. Should any
                        existing trees be required to be removed they shall be replaced with a suitably sized

                                is damaged to the point where the tree cannot be saved (as confirmed by the
                                project arborist and agreed in writing by Council)
                        b.      will be returned upon practical completion of all the operational works relating to
