8     D ISCLAIMER AND L IMITATIONS OF L IABILITY
The information contained in this report has been prepared independently, free of any bias and represents the

All data is based on visual inspection of the tree(s) and their location at the time of writing unless otherwise stated.
The report includes opinions, advice, and recommendations based on information gathered during site inspections
conducted by the author and data supplied by the Client (RACV Noosa).

All information received from the Client shall be deemed to be true, accurate and up to date.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree Consult Arborist Pty Ltd is not liable to you or any person or entity for
any loss of or damage (including loss or damage resulting from negligence), either directly or indirectly, arising
from your use of the information presented in this report. In no event will the author be liable for any lost revenue

Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot be held responsible for the effects of non-conformance works carried out by
inadequately qualified staff or without the supervision of Consult Arborist.

Unless otherwise stated, this report may not be used in a court of law or any legal proceeding without the prior
consent of Consult Arborist Pty Ltd. The author is not required to provide testimony or attend court based on this
report unless subsequent contractual arrangements have been made.

The information contained in this report pertains solely to the tree(s) that were inspected most recently in March
2025, and through desktop review of the plans, and reflects their condition at the time of the inspection.

No warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, is made that the problems or deficiencies identified in the plants
or property will not arise in the future. Likewise, remedial treatments cannot be guaranteed.

Arborists cannot detect every condition that could potentially lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees are living
organisms that fail in ways not fully understood, and conditions can often remain hidden within a tree or below
ground. Consult Arborist Pty Ltd and the author cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all
circumstances or for a specified period.

This report does not account for the possibility of extreme weather events or other factors beyond the control of
Consult Arborist Pty Ltd.

Treatment, pruning, and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s services,
such as property boundaries, ownership issues, disputes between neighbours, sightlines, landlord-tenant matters
and similar concerns. Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot address such issues unless complete and accurate
information is provided. Furthermore, Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot be held responsible for the authorisation or
non-authorisation of any recommended treatment or remedial measure.

Arborists are specialists who use their education, knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees,
recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees and attempt to reduce the risk of living near trees.
While trees can be managed, they cannot be controlled. To live or work near a tree involves inherent risks, and the
only way to eliminate all risks associated with a tree is to remove it entirely.

Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of Consult Arborist Pty Ltd or to seek additional
advice.
