The Site

The property is located on the northern side of Hastings Street Noosa QI.D,
and has a council reserve on the northern side between the site and Noosa
Beach. The site is known as No 9. 11, 13 & 19 Hastings Street Noosa I leads
QLD. This report specifically deals with the three significant trees (Tree No’s
48, 57, and 70) on the council reserve in close proximity to the northern
boundary of the site. The council reserve has no structures or other features
that would influence root growth in close proximity to the three significant
trees.

The site is flat for all purposes of tree assessment. The council reserve soil is
sandy. No soil assessment was undertaken to fully assess soil strata. Soils
within the site are considered sandy, but are regarded as disturbed and possibly
containing building construction debris from previous building constructions.

‘The trees have existing structures on the site that have influenced root
development. Tree No 70 has a stairwell (see Photo No 1) located within 2
metres of the trunk, thus restricting root development onto the site. ‘Tree No
57 has an existing in ground swimming pool (sec Photo No 2) approximately
3.5 metres from the trunk, limiting root development onto the site. Tree No 48
has no significant structures within close proximity that would affect root
distribution, although there is an in ground pool to the southeast that is
approximately 5 metres from the trunk (see Photo No 3).
