1 B RIEF
This report was commissioned by Darren McClenaghan, RACV Resort Manager on the 8
January 2019. Consult Arborist Pty Ltd has been requested to carry out an independent
Arboricultural Appraisal and Tree Risk Assessment on trees that have previously been
submitted to Noosa Council as part of an application to remove protected vegetation. The aim
of this report is to provide a tree risk assessment and information on the subject tree's current
condition with recommendations offered regarding hazard mitigation works if required, and
their suitability for retention and/or the option to maintain the tree in a suitable condition for its
location.

The information is to respond to a Noosa Council Information Request dated 14th December
2018.

Matthew Duncan, Director and Principal Arborist of Consult Arborist, undertook the Visual
Tree Assessment of the site from a ground level on Thursday, 10 January 2019. Matthew
holds an AQF Level 5 (AHC50510) Diploma in Arboriculture from Sunshine Coast TAFE, an
International Society of Arboriculture’s Tree Risk Assessment Qualification 2015 and has
worked in the arboricultural industry since 1994. Since its establishment in 2011, Consult

During the assessment, I was accompanied by an RACV representative and shown the
specific subject trees. No further assessment of the other trees within the resort was
undertaken at this time.

Regular assessments of the mature trees are recommended on an annual basis.
