*Measurements estimated by eye and experience.

These two (2) trees are similar in location and form. Their overall health and condition appear
‘Good' or typical for a mature tree of this species with no major defects or disorders noted at
the time of the inspection.

The trees are located on the project boundary fence line with early mature naturally occurring
native and exotic trees species forming an understory. The project design positions these two
trees to the west of the Olivine Street driveway and directly to the rear of Units 11 – 17.

Noosa Council has expressed a need for the retention of these two trees to be reviewed as
they were originally proposed for removal.




                          Figure 4: Extract from the provided site plans with
                      tree locations marked and estimated TPZ shown in green


An upgrade of the road reserve has been mandated by Noosa Council with the proposed
construction of a pedestrian footpath and kerb positioned on the outer edge of the trees'
calculated TPZ which is not deemed as major TPZ intrusion.

The courtyard gardens of Units 11- 17 will be 6m deep from the property boundary beyond
which is the position of the dwellings (Units 11-17). On the plan, the intrusion into the trees'
TPZ is only classed as minor (up to 10% on one side). The primary cause for concern is the
construction/earthworks that will take place within the courtyard garden spaces including the
removal of the existing grass, any change in soil levels and the construction of fencing, paths,
hard landscaping, etc. These works will affect 50% of the trees' TPZs which is not considered
an acceptable amount of intrusion.
