Good Afternoon Amanda,  
I have addressed the arborist questions in dot point,


1.	I have attached the updated arborist report numbering the trees and the green stars were initially identifying trees to be retained but due to species and safety concerns they are now intending to be removed
2.	The work process will have all the tree removal and landscape works will be all done internally as the site is a gated site and as such the public will have no access. We envisage the work vehicles will be for the duration of the works will be all parked internally on-site and as such will not infringe on traffic in this area and all vehicles will be going in and out of Noosa Parade. The vehicles will be medium to small trucks and chippers to a maximum empty weight of 6 tonnes and track-mounted EWP and trailered stump grinders and skid steer loaders . Their use will be staggered in accordance with the work procedure. 
3.	In regards to Traffic Management, we will be having signs out at the entrance to the site from Hastings St and in regards to tree removal on the hastings st frontage a traffic management plan will be implemented and EWP used to limit the time these works will take and electric saws will be used for the most part to reduce noise.
4.	The general work process will be all tree removal works working from 7 am to 4 pm approximately and only on Monday to Friday and we estimate these works will take approximately 7 to 10 days to complete, we do intend to try and manage our chipper noise by trying to stagger the operation as this also will be with our saw use as well, but there is a fine line between being mindful of the noise and be work efficient because if we tread too lightly the work will take longer than required. All of the machinery meets Australian standards and is the same machine that the council uses themselves. Where we can we will use electric saws but we need to be mindful of staff fatigue management from using underpowered machinery rather than the appropriate saw for the task. We will idle back chippers when not processing material and I think the buildings will offer some noise buffer to hastings st. Then the landscaping works which will  have fewer noise concerns

I hope this answers the tree works concerns and I will forward the amended information from the landscape architect

Thanks, Amanda

kind regards 
Kurt
