3 S ITE L OC ATION AND D ETAI LS
The property of 25 Kauri Street is a triangular plot located on the corner of Olivine Street within
the Noosa Council suburb of Cooroy. Currently, the site is a vacant Lot approximately 4,700m²
and is covered with natural grassland and a sporadic mix of native trees. The road reserves
of Kauri and Olivine Streets both have a mix of naturally occurring and planted trees with the
established street treescape on Olivine Street.

The total site area is proposed to be developed with the construction of 17 Units and the
requirement for all trees within the site boundary to be cleared. As part of the development, it
is expected that service installation, road widening, and the construction of driveways and
public pedestrian footpaths will impact on the roadside vegetation.

This assessment is based on the current design and site layout, as referred to in Documents
Reviewed, without alteration to the Project layout.

This report relates primarily to three (3) mature eucalyptus trees on the Olivine Street frontage
of the site for which Noosa Council has expressed that retention is the desired outcome. These
subject trees are identified using site plans and pictures.

Comment and guidance will be provided on the subject trees and their suitability for retention
within the currently proposed project design, and where required, with justifications and
observations offered relating to the degree of intrusion in the calculated Tree protection Zones
(TPZ) as per AS4970-2009 Protection of trees on development sites.

All young and early mature trees located on the fence line of the site are to be removed.

Planted street trees on Kauri Street are to be protected where the design allows. It is
recommended that the Swamp Bush Box, Lophostemon suaveolens, is considered as a
suitable species for replacement street tree planting, at 10m spacings where possible, to
create a new street treescape.
