The realigned driveway is now located at a distance of 8m. This distance only represented a
minor TPZ intrusion and is not expected to cause major root loss. All earthworks and
construction within the tree's calculated TPZ is to be undertaken with care and under the
supervision of the Project Arborist.

Due to Noosa Council's desire to retain this tree, a comprehensive Tree Protection Plan will
require implementation to minimise the impact of the project works on the tree. The protection
will be guided by, AS4790 – 2009 Protection of trees on development sites, industry best
practice and the supervising presence of a suitably qualified and experienced Arborist with a
high level of experience as an onsite Project Arborist.

The level of intrusion and likely root/ground disturbance that will occur is to be acknowledged
by Noosa Council along with the knowledge that although care will be taken to protect the
subject tree, decline in the tree’s long-term health/vigour may occur over the following years
on completion of the project.

Although not ideal, with acceptance by Noosa Council, the retention of Tree 1 is viable.
