Dear Anna,

RE: Request for approval to remove vegetation for Fire Mitigation

Further to your request for approval to undertake work to remove specified vegetation to
20m along the North-eastern boundary and 15m along the south-eastern boundary, I am
advising the results of the inspection and assessment undertaken by council’s
Assessment Officer.

Approval for removal of the vegetation for fire mitigation will be granted, subject to
conditions, and upon receipt of further information and payment of an application fee and
a bond. Particulars contained in this letter are for your information only - this letter does
not grant approval.

The following conditions will be applied:

1.    Payment of an application fee of $187.00 and a bond of $643 to be made at our
      Customer Service Counter located at level 1, 9 Pelican Street, Tewantin. Please
      note that return of the bond will be subject to an inspection of the site after
      completion of works and the inspection may take up to 10 working days from date
      customer advises completion of the works.
2.    Contractors that are engaged to undertake tree removal are required to be trained to
      AQF Level 3 in Arboriculture or equivalent recognised and with relevant experience.
3.    Contractors must hold Public Liability Insurance in the sum of $20 million.
4.    A Dial Before You Dig must be obtained; this can be done online at
      https://www.1100.com.au/ and evidence provided that the tree works will not
      interfere with existing underground services.
5.    Residents who may be affected by the removal of the tree must be notified of the
      work at least three days in advance.
6.    All debris associated with the removal must be removed from the site.
7.    Traffic and pedestrian access and management is the responsibility of the
      contractor/client.
8.    Work must be undertaken and completed within 28 days of receipt of approval.
9.    If required, stumps must be ground to specifications.
10. Applicant is to submit on behalf of the contractor WH&S Risk Assessment form,
    identifying hazards and relevant control measures prior to commencement.
