5.1          ARBORICULTURAL ASSESSMENT


Existing trees on site were surveyed, identified and assessed according to methods
outlined in the Section 4.

A total of 242 trees were individually surveyed as part of the survey and assessment. Of
these:

      ● 237 were native trees, endemic to southeast Queensland,
      ● Two (2) were exotic or non-endemic species, and,
      ● Three (3) were dead or unidentified.

Results of the assessment of vigour (Institute of Australian Consulting Arboriculturists
2010) indicated that, of the 242 trees surveyed:

      ● Three (3) trees were assessed as having high vigour,
      ● 209 were assessed as having normal vigour,
      ● 28 trees were assessed as having low vigour, and,
      ● Two (2) trees were dead.

Results of the assessment of condition of individual trees (Institute of Australian
Consulting Arboriculturists 2010) indicated that, of the 242 trees surveyed:

      ● 176 trees were assessed as being in good condition,
      ● 16 were assessed as being in fair condition, and,
      ● 48 trees were assessed as being in poor condition, and,
      ● Two (2) trees were dead.

The location of trees and the results of the assessment are shown in the Vegetation
Management Plan (Litoria Consulting, Issue A, 7/10/2022) (Appendix 1).
