  The subject trees, have been assessed to provide information and clarity regarding retention
  status within the project design, taking into consideration the construction phase and future
  use of the site.

  *Measurements estimated by eye and experience.




  The subject trees as tabled above, are all found in the rear area of Lot 17. Trees #1 and #2
  are the dominant trees. The remaining trees and palms are suppressed with stunted growth
  and forms due to competition from the larger trees and their proximity to the existing structures.

  The design of the renovation directly conflicts with the location of Tree #2, the Hills Fig. The
  project design does not allow for this subject tree to be retained.

  Palm #1 is an undesirable species but does help to retain some maturing landscape to the
  rear of Lot 17. There are a few small suppressed Lilly Pillies located at the base of this palm
  that could be pruned during the construction phase and allowed to regrow on completion.

  Palms and trees within the boundary of adjacent Lots are proposed to be retained, see Picture
  3: Retained palms Picture 3.

  All proposed retained trees and palms within and adjacent Lot 17 and directly adjacent are to
  be protected in accordance with AS4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites,
  during the construction phase of the project.

  5.2     SUMMARY TABLE
  Table 2 below provides a brief summary of the subject trees/palms found within the site
  boundary of Lot 17/30 Hastings Street. #1 Cocus Palm and a few understory juvenile Lilly
  Pillies are proposed to be retained and protected during the life of the project.
