A RBORICULTURAL A DVICE
Site Address: 7 Triller Court, Pomona, QLD, 4568
Dear Blake,
Further to your request and my site visit, I am pleased to provide you with arboricultural advice
in relation to the access to the development site at 7 Triller Court.
The advice is provided in response to a Noosa Council ‘Request for further Information’. Item
14 is seeking information relating to the trees along the northern boundary to ensure that safe
access is available as requested in the NCES, Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management
Plan, January 2022, in accordance with QLD QFES access guidelines.
On attending site on Friday 4th March, it was evident that the construction of the new access
road and installation of overhead power lines had removed trees within the site along the Triller
Court corridor with the overhead power running parallel on the northern side of the roadway.
The construction of these two infrastructure elements has resulted in the removal of all trees
within the site and a 5-6m cleared area set back from the edge of the roadway from Reserve
Street to the east along the northern boundary up to the new cul-de-sac of Triller Court.
Should you have any queries or wish to discuss the information contained in this review,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
_______________________

A SSUMPTIONS AND D ISCLAIMER
This information contained in this report has been prepared on an independent basis, free of any bias and
represents the honest opinion of the consulting arborist.
All data is based on visual inspection of the tree/s and its/their location at the time of writing, unless otherwise
stated, and contains opinions, advice and recommendations based on information and data gathered from site
inspections carried out by the author and information supplied by the Client (I Love Pomona Pty Ltd TTE C/- Murray
& Associates (Qld) Pty Ltd).
All information received from the Client shall be deemed to be true, accurate and up to date.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree Consult Arborist Pty Ltd is not liable to you or any person or entity for
any loss of or damage caused or alleged to have been caused (including loss or damage resulting from negligence)
either directly or indirectly, by your use of the information made available in this report. In no event will the author
be liable to you for any lost revenue or profits, or for special, indirect, consequential, or incidental damage (however
caused and regardless of the theory of liability) arising out of or related to your use of that information, even if the
author has been advised of the possibility of such a loss or damage.
Consult Arborist cannot be held responsible for the effects of non-conformance works performed, by unsuitably
qualified staff or without the supervision of Consult Arborist.
Unless otherwise stated this report cannot be used within a court of law or any legal situation without the prior
consent of Consult Arborist Pty Ltd. The author shall not be required to give testimony or to attend court by reason
of this report unless subsequent contractual arrangements have been made.
The information contained in this report refers only to the tree/s that were inspected on 4 March 2022 and reflects
the condition of the tree/s at the time of the inspection and a review of documents.
There is no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, that the problems or deficiencies of the plants or property
in question may not arise in the future. Likewise, remedial treatments cannot be guaranteed.
Arboriculturalists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are
living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below
ground. Consult Arborist Pty Ltd and the author cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all
circumstances, or for a specified period of time.
This report does not take into consideration the possibility of extreme weather or other events over which Consult
Arborist Pty Ltd has no control.
Treatment, pruning and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the Arboriculturalists
services, such as property boundaries and ownership, disputes between neighbours, sightlines, landlord-tenant
matters and related. Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot take such issues into account unless complete and accurate
information is given to them. Likewise, Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for the authorization
or non-authorization of any recommended treatment or remedial measure.
Arboriculturalists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine
trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees and attempt to reduce the risk of living near
trees. Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live or work near a tree involves some degree of
risk. The only way to eliminate all risks associated with a tree is to eliminate the tree.
Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of Consult Arborist Pty Ltd or to seek additional
advice.
