K - Preliminary Arborist Report (29.08.2019)

01            INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND


Treescience Pty Ltd was engaged by Spotlight Property Group (The Client) to prepare a
Preliminary Arboricultural Report (PAR) for the various trees based on the proposed
development layout. An Information Request sought by Noosa Council, application number
MCU19/0054, advises insufficient information had been provided concerning:


Landscaping Ecology


Issue-Landscaping & Ecology


Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that remaining vegetation depth
and density to Eenie Creek Road suitably buffers buildings and loading zones so the built
form does not encroach on the existing native vegetation along the road frontage.


The covenant areas and road reserves contain native vegetation which is required to be
retained during construction and the approved use of the site. Construction, supply of
services and the ongoing use of the site can impact on the retention of the vegetation.


Within the Information Request, Noosa Council have requested an Arborist report to
detail the following:


Item 36.


Provide an arborist report prepared by a qualified person which documents the methods to
retain and enhance the vegetation in the covenant area and in the road reserve during
construction, supply of services and the ongoing use of the site.


Item 37

    For the purpose of preparing an Arborist Report, a qualified person is considered to be a
person with either:


a. ISA certification; or


b. a Diploma of Arboriculture in addition to a minimum of 3 years current experience in the
field of arboriculture.
