Arboricultural Report from STP24-0253 Application for Operational Works Fire Trail - 80 Cooyar Street Noosa Heads · OPW24/0118

On the northern to eastern aspect of the site is an existing break in the vegetation that
separates the Girraween Nature Refuge bushland and the site. As part of previous approvals,
Noosa Council gave consent to clear all but the Black Sheoak trees to create a firebreak.
These works were not completed and are now proposed as part of these project works.

A review of the Black Sheoak trees was undertaken as part of this Arborist Assessment.
A separate tree plot plan was provided by Woollam illustrating the Black Sheoaks within
the Firebreak. Table 1 below highlights the observations noted during the site inspection and
the current retention status for these trees. Please note that the number sequencing is not
always continuous, and trees not reflected in the following table are deemed suitable to be
retained at this time.

The status of the remaining young trees at the southern end of the site is questionable. It is
difficult to determine which tree is which on site and their long-term suitability for retention is
questionable with natural fails anticipated in coming years.
