                 3 S COPE AND L IMITATIONS
                 The purpose of this report is to provide advice and guidance on the subject trees within an
                 influencing distance of the proposed project works and to provide guidance on tree protection
                 measures during the construction stage of the project so that retained trees can be suitably
                 protected to achieve the desired outcomes.

                 Tree project measures will be in accordance with Noosa Council’s final approval conditions.

                 The subject trees detailed within the report have received an International Society of
                 Arboriculture (ISA) Basic Level 1 assessment with consideration to the design and future use
                 of the Project.

                 See attached photographs, plan extracts and maps for identification purposes.

                 This report does not take into consideration changes to the site design or activities on which
                 Consult Arborist has not been requested to comment nor advised.

                 This report does not take into consideration extreme weather events or future pest and disease
                 outbreaks which may affect the tree’s health, condition and retainability.

                 All assessments of the retained tree/s have been made visually from the ground and include
                 the use of basic tools and techniques, i.e., cavity probing, minor root collar excavation,
                 measuring tapes and devices and photography to gather information. No additional specialist
                 equipment was used and no conclusive comments on what may have or might be happening
                 within the internal structure of the tree will be made. No tissue or soil samples have been
                 collected or submitted for testing.

                 The information contained in this report is based on a visual inspection of the tree/s and their
                 location/s, species, health, and condition at the time of the inspection from a ground level. The
                 additional information provided is the author's opinion and is a 'snapshot in time' of the specific
                 tree's health and condition at the time of the quoted inspection and no guarantee can be given
                 that faults or issues may not arise in the future.
