REPORT
Noosa Council has responsibility for maintaining trees on traffic islands, road verges,
roundabouts, parks, gardens and natural areas to retain the environmental and social values
across the Shire. Trees in an urban landscape require significant maintenance as they can be
impacted by age, interference, pests, diseases and environmental degradation. Ongoing tree
maintenance is required to ensure public safety and the retention of environmental and social
values.
