19 Viewland Drive Approvals Requested · OPW19/0180
Attached to the e-mail Operational Works Application OPW19/0180 - DA Form 1 - Supporting information document - Plans - Plans - Arborist Report - at 19 Viewland Drive Noosa Heads.
Noosa Council Application accompanying Form DA1 re 19 Viewland Drive Noosa Heads For Changes to : Street Crossover, Street Tree Removal and Tree Removal on Site The following information is submitted in support of a request for the three changes listed above. All three arise as a consequence of a building application, involving the partial demolition and rebuilding of a house on the existing site. 1. Street Crossover Change The renovation involves the relocation of the garage door further east from where it is currently. As a result, the street crossover will need to move east also (further up the hill). The design of the crossover is proposed to be located and dimensioned as shown on the attached diagram (Schedule 1). It involves: - Moving the existing kerb crossover approximately 2500mm east. - Existing Crossover to be repaired with kerbing as required. - Footpath to be cut and repaired with same coloured concrete 2. Street Tree Removal A street tree is now planted adjacent to the kerb approximately at the centre of where the new crossover will be (shown on Schedule 1). The request is to remove that tree, and then replant a new tree of the same variety the equivalent distance west of the new crossover, as the current tree is east of the existing crossover. 3. Removal of Site trees The request for removal of these trees is set out on Schedules 2 (rear) and 3 (front), and relies on three criteria as follows: - Those trees growing within 3 metres of the new house. - Those trees which are to be damaged because of, or in the way of, excavation or site filling pursuant to the building and landscaping works. - One tree which is extremely dangerous and unstable because of repeated pruning and lopping by electricity power line workers.

This matter was partially dealt with previously when our Certifier incorrectly sent an Arborist Report before the plans were finalised. The same report is attached to this submission identifying the trees involved. The following explains the individual trees. (a) Rear Trees Schedule 2 Shows a group of trees within 3 metres of the proposed house extension. These include the large Rose Gum. All are to be removed as they are within 3 metres. Behind the three metre distance to the rear boundary, is another 3 metres of land containing 4 small trees (a variety of gum). One is white ant infested and all have been cut back over the years because of their proximity to the neighbours’ garage (the Noosa Council allowed the garage structure to be constructed on the rear boundary with no setback). These trees will have their roots exposed by excavation as described below. A survey plan is attached. The NE corner of the land is 73.68 metres high, and the garage floor slab is 72.89 metres. The new ‘Shed’ slab will be at garage floor level so the land falls 790mm. The land will be excavated at least 100mm below slab level for drainage so the total excavation will be approximately 900mm. This excavation will go back to approximately 600mm from the rear and side boundaries to provide for a clothes’ line drying area behind the shed. The four trees involved will have their roots exposed. These four trees therefore will not survive the excavation and in any event are in poor condition. All need removal. Once the retaining wall is in place green planting of medium height shrubs/trees will be established in that back corner to screen the neighbours’ garage etc. (b) Front Trees Schedule 3 shows all trees in the front yard of the house. Each is numbered and explained below: - Tree 1 (request removal) This is a mature pink bloodwood and is identified in the Arborists Report and commented in in paragraph 8.1. Put simply this tree is extremely dangerous caused by past pruning by Energex. The Arborist states it is a threat to the dwelling and any inspection will reveal it would definitely be very vulnerable in a storm. Request approval to remove.

This tree also impedes access for machinery to access the rear of the property for
building works.
Two Trees marked 2 (request removal)
Two immature Bribie Island pines growing close together. They will be buried about
1 metre below ground level following earthworks at the front involving a new
retaining wall behind which the excess fill from the rear yard will be placed. The
resulting front yard will be gently sloping west from the driveway to the retaining
wall effectively creating a useable front area to be re-landscaped.
The attached site plan shows the SW boundary corner at level 71.10 compared with
the garage slab at 72.89. This 1.79 metre fall is the height difference we are dealing
with and shows that these two trees trunks will be buried at least one metre.
Two Trees marked 3 (request removal)
These to be removed pursuant to operational works (in the path of the new
driveway).
Tree marked 4 (request removal)
This tree is another Bribie island Pine and is located only about 600mm from the
front boundary. In that location it will interfere with the construction works required
to install footings for a front fence and sliding electric gate.
In addition the tree is directly under both the Energex overhead lines and the
electrical feed to the house. It has been extensively hacked back in the past and is
the wrong variety so close to the power lines.
