1.1 - Brief as understood

Provide a tree survey and assessment of vegetation on the site to assess which
trees should be retained/removed/replaced and make recommendations for pro-
tection and retention of existing trees through the deign and construction stages.

Demonstrate how the existing vegetation to the interface between the proposed
development and bushland park (Pinaroo Park), and the proposed future road
extension to the Noosa Dr roundabout will be addressed.

2.1 - Overview

Numerous trees are located on the 3 lots of the proposed development site. Many
can be classed as near to the end of their useful life expectancies and a small
number are dead or dying. A number could be classed as structurally unsound or
of unsuitable species to be included in a redevelopment. There is also a number of
trees that exhibit vigour and vitality, are structurally sound and of sufficient form to
be preserved.

After scrutiny of the proposed plans and several site visits to better identify actual
tree location onsite, the conclusion drawn is that almost all of the onsite trees will
be either removed due to works or compromised due to root zone disturbance. In
order to retain any of the existing trees or create new areas for a tree scape to
mature into, more area is required.
