E XECUTIVE S UMMARY
This Arboricultural Impact Assessment report is in response to Noosa Council’s Decision
Notice dated 5 September 2022. As part of the application conditions, Council has requested
that the native trees across the two sites, 10 Natasha Avenue, and 24 Katharina Street, are
assessed and an Arborist Report is provided demonstrating the protection of the retained
trees.

Due to the project design and the constraints of the site, no trees within the two sites or the
council road reserve are proposed to be retained due to design and construction conflict.

1 B RIEF
This Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) report was commissioned by Mark Bain
Construction on behalf of their client. In response to Noosa Council MUC conditions 16, 17,
and 18, Retention of Existing Trees, Consult Arborist has been commissioned to conduct a
Tree Survey of the trees within the two sites at 10 Natasha Avenue and 24 Katharina Street,
the council road reserve, and trees directly adjacent to the site boundary within the
neighbouring properties. This report and assessment take into account the project design and
the current condition and suitability of the existing vegetation.

2 S ITE I NSPECTION
Matthew Duncan, the Director and Principal Arborist of Consult Arborist, undertook the Visual
Tree Assessment on the site from a ground level on Monday, 17 October 2022. Matthew holds
an AQF Level 5 Diploma of Arboriculture (AHC50510), an International Society of
Arboriculture’s Tree Risk Assessment Qualification, valid from 2015 to 2025, and has worked
in the arboricultural industry since 1994. Since its establishment in 2011, Consult Arborist has
been engaged to provide arboricultural advice and guidance on private, civil, and capital works

3 S COPE & L IMITATIONS
The purpose of this report is to provide advice and guidance on the subject trees' retention
status in relation to the proposed works with guidance for tree protection measures to be used
on trees deemed for retention.

Consult Arborist has reviewed the supplied documentation relating to the site, the existing
trees/vegetation, and the site layout with consideration to the design, future use, and
buildability of the Project. This report aims to provide guidance and direction with the practical
consideration of the suitable retention of individual trees where suitable.

The subject trees detailed within the report have received an International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA) Basic Level 2 assessment with consideration to the design and future use
of the Project.

No trunk decay detection equipment or ground radar was used as part of this Arboricultural
Appraisal, no conclusive comments on what may have been or may be happening within the
internal structure of the tree or the tree’s roots will be made. No tissue or soil samples have
been collected or submitted for testing. All data is based on visual inspection based on known
industry methodology of visual tree assessment VTA, of the tree/s and its/their location,
species, health, and condition at the time of inspection unless otherwise stated.

The information contained in this report is the author’s opinion and is a ‘snapshot in time’ of
each specific tree’s health and structure at the time of the inspection and no guarantee can
be given that faults or issues may not arise in the future.

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.

The relevant tree information has been recorded to be used as a functional proactive tool to
determine a management strategy for the tree, taking into account the tree’s condition, species
age, location, project design and future use of the site.

See attached photographs, plan extracts and maps for identification purposes. Photographs
of the subject trees have been taken on an iPhone/iPad when required and the light/exposure
has been adapted to improve the clarity of the picture quality.

The Tree Protection Plan advises on the methods for protection of the retained trees and is
guided by the Australian Standard, AS4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites,
industry best practice and professional experience.

3.1 WILDLIFE CONSIDERATIONS
The DEHP (Department of Environment and Heritage Protection) should be consulted in
regard to regulations concerning tree removal. The Nature Conservation Act 1992 provides
statutory protection for most species of native animals and any tree work which affects them
may constitute an offence. In addition, the Nature Conservation and Other Legislation (Koala
Protection) Amendment Regulation amended the Environmental Offsets Regulation 2014,
Planning Regulation 2017, Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 and
Vegetation Management Regulation 2012 to provide increased protection to koala habitat
areas in South East Queensland. A qualified Fauna Spotter-Catcher should be consulted prior
to tree works being carried out where wildlife may be active.

3.2 PROTECTED TREES
Prior to carrying out any tree work, it is recommended to check with the local authority to
ensure there is no protection order placed on the trees. Should any tree be deemed to be
legally protected, it will be necessary to consult the local Council before removal can be carried
out.

3.3 CONTRACTORS NOTES
Recommended arboricultural works are to be carried out by an arborist holding a minimum of
a Level 3 AQF qualification in Arboriculture with good working experience. It is expected that
the Arborist may encounter anomalies within the tree as they climb/work and as such may use
their discretion to remove any further branches or limbs which they may deem could pose an
immediate risk. Additional removals outside the recommendations or defects noted whilst in
the tree are to be recorded and reported to the author and/or discussed with a Level 5 Arborist
on site prior to undertaking the appropriate action.

   All pruning to be in accordance with, or guided by AS 4373 – “Pruning of Amenity Trees”

3.4 HABITAT TREES
When undertaking remedial tree works on habitat trees, please be aware of the fauna and
their habitat. The creation of future habitat whilst undertaking remedial works is to be
considered. When mitigating hazardous deadwood, hollow sections and large branches,
minimal pruning or reduction of weight is required rather than total removal. Hollow sections
take many years to be created and are a highly valuable habitat. Coronet cuts should be
facilitated where appropriate to mimic natural branch failure on suitable trees in a natural
setting.

4 S ITE F INDINGS AND O BSERVATIONS
The site is in the Noosa Council coastal suburb of Noosa Heads and is currently occupied by
two multi-residential units that are proposed for demolition to make way for the construction of
the new multi-dwelling complex.

The subject vegetation throughout the site consists of originally planted landscaping and
naturally occurring native trees of differing ages and conditions. The centre of the site contains
mainly older natives, while the road reserves are a mix of naturally occurring local natives,
formally planted trees, and mixed exotic understory.

The approved project design maximises the permittable building envelope of the two sites and
outdoor living areas. This design conflicts directly with the majority of the vegetation on the
site and the remaining vegetation are of Low retention value and would be unsuitable for
retention during the construction phase and the future use of the site.

Both road reserve verges are sloping in nature and the earthworks design shows shallow Cut
and Fill is required to facilitate the front wall, driveway, and conditioned formal footpaths.

Trees in the neighbouring properties of 8 Natasha and 22 Katharina are located close to the
site boundary. The civil design for the site requires the installation of deep continuous piers to
create the required inground retaining wall structure. These works will likely impact the
neighbouring trees and consultation with the owners is recommended. As per Noosa Council
conditions, this report response does not require neighbouring trees to be addressed.

4.1 RETENTION VALUE STATUS
The retention value status is based on industry-recognised methods of ascertaining the
retention value of a tree. The suitability of the tree for preservation or retention is based on the
individual qualities of each tree within the approved project design. By taking into consideration
the health, structural condition, aesthetics, age, size, longevity (Safe Useful Life Expectancy)
and ability to adapt to new environments the viability of the tree can be reasonably determined.
For trees in non-use areas (e.g., Open spaces) where a range in tree quality is appropriate,
all trees may be considered suitable, except for invasive species.

Suitability for Retention/Preservation Categories are:

•   High - Tree retention is the priority. The tree has high amenity, heritage and/or
    environmental value. It is in reasonably good condition (any minor structural or health
    problems can be mitigated), has a long life expectancy and can recover from injury or
    respond to environmental changes.
•   Medium – Tree retention is desirable. The tree is in fair-good condition, is a locally
    common species, the tree contributes to the aesthetics of its locality and should survive
    for many years. The tree may have health or structural problems that can be mitigated
    with treatment.
•   Low – Tree is not considered worthy of special measures to ensure its retention. The tree
    is in poor condition with significant defects that cannot be mitigated, has a short Useful
    Life Expectancy, or the tree is expected to decline regardless of treatment. The tree has
    low value in the landscape or is an undesirable species.
•   Very Low - Tree removal is recommended. Trees are considered potentially hazardous,
    very poor specimens, and/or may be environmental or noxious weeds.

9 T REE P ROTECTION G UIDELINES
With no trees either on the site or within the council road reserve proposed to be retained due
to project and civil design requirements, the tree protection measures are to be used as a
guide for the trees within the neighbouring properties. It is advised that discussions are held
with the neighbouring property owners in regard to the impact on the trees that may occur
during the construction phase.

For the proposed retention of the trees adjacent to the site, the following guidelines are
recommended to be implemented to minimise the impact of the project works. The protection
recommendations offered are guided by, AS4790 – 2009 Protection of trees on development
sites, industry best practices and the supervising presence of a suitably qualified and
experienced Arborist with a high level of experience as an onsite Project Arborist.

The information within these Guidelines is generic for practical use with common sense and
discretion.

The successful retention of the trees will be bettered by the education and cooperation of all
parties of the construction team during the build and the presence of the Project Arborist on
site to assist and advise during the construction phase for all works carried out adjacent to the
TPZ of protected trees.

ALL workers on the site are to be made aware of the Tree Protection Guidelines and any site-
specific measures by the main contractor prior to commencing works.

9.1 THE ROLE OF THE PROJECT ARBORIST AND TREE PROTECTION
An Arboricultural Assessment undertaken by the Project Arborist will outline the trees that
require consideration. The information within these Tree Protection Guidelines should be read
in conjunction with guidelines laid out in the Australian Standard, AS4970–2009 Protection of
Trees on Development Sites and ongoing advice from the Project Arborist.

A designated onsite foreman/supervisor from the construction company is to liaise with the
Project Arborist to ensure that Tree Protection is adhered to in their absence from the site.

A Post Construction Arborist Report can be prepared by the Project Arborist on request for
the retained tree comprising a Visual Tree Assessment detailing each of the trees’ condition
and vigour, damage or disturbance which may have occurred, and remedial works are
undertaken.

After the final inspection, a Certification of Compliance can be supplied along with any
monitoring documentation as required.

The Project Arborist may at any time implement new or additional procedures as may be
required for the site in the best interest of the trees and the development as a whole.

9.2 CALCULATING TREE PROTECTION
The descriptions of the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) and Structural Root Zone (SRZ) are from
the Australian Standards, AS 4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites. These
descriptions provide the basic prerequisites to calculate the TPZ and SRZ, and the
compensates for when encroachment or a reduction in the size/area of the TPZ is required to
facilitate a development: see Appendix D of the Australian Standard AS 4970-2009.

Many factors need to be taken into consideration when estimating tree root growth and spread.

9.2.1 TREE PROTECTION ZONE (TPZ)
As specified in the Australian Standard, AS 4970-2009, the TPZ is the principal means of
protecting trees on a development site. The TPZ calculates the radius of a circular area
combining the root and crown spread of a tree for protection and isolation from construction
disturbance so the tree can remain in a viable condition for the future. The TPZ incorporates
the SRZ.

DBH = Diameter at Breast Height - trunk diameter measured at 1.4m above ground

TPZ RADIUS = Twelve times the DBH

Example: .5m DBH x 12 = 6m TPZ RADIUS.

A TPZ should not be less than 2m or greater than 15m unless additional crown protection is
required.

9.2.2 STRUCTURAL ROOT ZONE (SRZ)
The SRZ, as specified in AS 4970-2009, is the minimum surface area of protection required
around a tree to maintain that tree’s stability – a larger area than this is required to maintain a
tree in a viable condition for the future. It is only necessary to calculate the SRZ when major
encroachment into a TPZ is proposed.

An indicative SRZ RADIUS can be determined from the lower trunk diameter (above the root
buttress), D, measured in metres and applying the following formula:
                                                      0.42
                                    RSRZ = (D x 50)          x 0.64

The SRZ RADIUS for trees with a trunk diameter less than 0.15m will automatically be 1.5m.


 Please note that these are theoretical calculations and are to be used as a guide. Large tree
 species, particularly Fig trees, will have woody structural and feeder roots that extend to a
 greater distance than the calculations. Trees within urban environments where solid
 structures restrict root growth can also alter a tree’s root spread and direction. An additional
 water/food source would also encourage roots to grow further than expected.

9.3 ESTABLISHING TREE PROTECTION
Figure 10 shows a typical representation of a tree protection system. Tree root systems are
generally shallow in nature with most of the roots found within the top 1m of soil and a higher
density of roots found closest to the surface where moisture and nutrients are more readily
available. The function of the TPZ is to ensure that the tree has a viable root system, so the
tree has a functional future as an amenity asset within the development.

The structural standing of a tree is linked to critical aspects of roots (found in the TPZ) to bind
the soil and create a mass that the tree can anchor to. These roots consist of ‘Secondary roots’
(medium size) and ‘Tertiary roots’ (small size).

Primary roots (large size) found in the SRZ connect the tree to the anchor system. Primary
roots by themselves do not bind enough soil to create a stable anchor system.

The shallow nature of tree roots should be taken into consideration when working close to
trees and when installing the tree protection fencing for the Tree Protection Zone.




                      Figure 10: Example of an ideal generic Tree Protection System




9.4 TPZ SIGNS
The signs identifying the TPZ / ‘No-Go Zone’ are to be placed around the edge of the TPZ in
locations visible to the site as per Tree Protection Fencing Standards Australia marketing
media AS4970 – 2009.

9.5 TRUNK PROTECTION
Trunk protection, to prevent direct contact with the tree’s trunk and buttress roots can be
installed. This can comprise Geo fab/20mm thick hessian and wooden battens strapped/taped
to the tree’s trunk with a skirt over the buttress roots.

9.6 RESTRICTED ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE TPZ
Restricted activities within the TPZ that would cause harm to the retained trees include, but
are not limited to:
    • Any non-approved construction works, excavation, or cultivation of the ground.
    • Any non-approved storage.
    • Dumping of waste or placement of Fill.
    • Any non-approved soil level changes.
    • Parking of vehicles and plant.
    • Preparation of chemicals, including cement products.
    • Wash down and cleaning of equipment.
    • Refuelling.
    • Temporary or permanent installation of utilities and signs.
    • Lighting fires.
    • Physical damage to the tree.

9.7 TPZ STANDARD MITIGATION MEASURES
Remediation measures can be undertaken to limit and reduce negative effects that may occur.
Where suitable, the retained trees’ TPZ areas should be improved to provide a more
favourable and beneficial growing environment for tree roots. Use sandy loam where raised
soil levels are required to improve drainage and allow gaseous exchange. Trees can adapt to
low levels of Fill over the existing ground if undertaken with the correct material and in some
circumstances, this additional medium can provide ideal rooting conditions for feeder roots
and a beneficial food source for the tree.

The following recommendations, if followed, should improve an existing plant’s vigour, and in
turn benefit the plant’s health, safety, and amenity value. These can be incorporated into the
project landscaping details.

Implement the following where groundworks are carried out adjacent to, or encroach into, the
TPZ areas if deemed appropriate by Consult Arborist:
 • The Project Arborist is to advise and oversee mitigation works to retained trees.
 • Where possible the excavated ground, including the cut roots, will be covered/backfilled
    with quality topsoil locally sourced or a sandy loam/river sand with low organic matter, as
    guided by AS 4419—2003. Australian Standard™ Soils for landscaping and garden use.
 • Monthly applications of a seaweed-based soil conditioner/plant food to the topsoil as per
    the manufacturer’s guidelines for the duration of the project.
 • Install/use ground protection measures when access to the TPZ is required to undertake
    construction works. All ground protection measures are to be discussed and agreed upon
    with the Project Arborist prior to installation. These are to include but are not limited to:
    ply sheets; geo fabric; thick mulch layer.
 • Supplementary watering (water cart or sprinkler system) to retain adequate moisture
    levels in the soil.

All tree works, and tree protection measures, are to be guided by industry best practices and
the relative Australian Standards which include but are not limited to:
 • Australian Standards AS4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites
 • Australian Standards AS4373-2007 Pruning of amenity trees

                     forming dead or dysfunctional wood.
 Over Mature:        Tree has reached mature size and is unlike to increase significantly in height or mass.
                     Retrenchment of the upper crown with increased vegetative vitality in lower crown, increased
                     fungal activity and wood decay, increase colonisation by flora and fauna.
 Veteran:            Tree with advanced retrenchment, reduced crown size and annual increment growth,
                     extensive hollowing, crown collapse, low vigour, advanced heartwood decay, advanced

                     Minimal pathogen damage.
 Fair:               Tree with minor defects or disorders which are notable. Some dead wood within what can be
                     an unbalanced canopy, foliage generally with good colour although some discolouration may
                     be present typical of species in location. Minor pathogen damage.
 Poor:               Tree with major defects or disorders which are notable. Tree has considerable deadwood

                   buttress and root structure.
 Fair:             Tree with minor defects or disorders which are notable. Small areas of bark missing. Small
                   cavities or minor unfavourable branch unions may be present. Minor damage to roots.
 Poor:             Tree with major defects, large hollows, weak unions and/or problematic damaged roots.
 Hazardous:        This implies a tree with a major defect that may fail at any time
 Protection of Trees:
 TPZ:              As specified in the AS 4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites, the Tree
                   Protection Zone (TPZ) is the principal means of protecting trees on a development site. The
                   TPZ is a combination of the root and crown area requiring protection. This area should be
                   isolated from construction disturbance so that the tree can remain in a viable condition. The
                   TPZ incorporates the Structural Root Zone (SRZ).
                   The radius of the TPZ is calculated for each tree by multiplying its trunk diameter at 1.4m
                   above ground by 12, e.g., 300mm [email protected] x 12 = 3.6m Tree Protection Zone (TPZ)
                   A TPZ should not be less than 2m or greater than 15m (unless crown protection is required).
 SRZ:              Structural Root Zone (SRZ), as specified in AS 4970-2009 Protection of trees on
                   development sites, is the surface area of protection required to maintain a tree’s stability – a
                   larger area is required to maintain a tree in viable health. It is only necessary to calculate the
                   SRZ when major encroachment into a TPZ is proposed.
                   The SRZ for trees with a trunk diameter less than 150mm will be 1.5m.
 DBH:              Diameter at Breast Height - The approximate diameter of the trunk is measured visually in
                   millimetres at a height of 1.4m.
