Background

Considerable deliberation has been given to the location of the proposed vehicle crossover and
other elements the subject of this application, taking into account site conditions/characteristics, the
presence of existing services, and proposed house design. The proposed location has been
discussed with Martin Sergas, our private engineer, certifier and building designer.

This Operational Works application is required as:
* the proposed driveway is considered ‘non-standard’ due to the existing site profile; and
* proposed works include the removal of three (3) street trees; and
* alterations to the profile of the nature strip is also proposed.

Asbestos Removal

In February 2018, pieces of asbestos sheeting were discovered which had been illegally
dumped/hidden on Council’s nature strip at the front of the site. Initial testing and removal works
were completed at our own cost. Further pieces were subsequently discovered, and Noosa Council
then carried out additional removal works over an extensive area spanning 15 metres, and at
considerable financial cost. (Please contact Eddie Stevens, Noosa Council for further information).
The removal works included the removal of a depth of around 100mm of earth and vegetation in the
problem area. Please refer to photographs attached to this application showing the affected area
before and after the remediation works.

Location

As per attached engineering drawings, the location of the crossover has been chosen for the
following reasons:

° To seal the area permanently: Upon completion, the vehicle crossover in this location would
enable area to be sealed permanently by concrete/bitumen which would prevent the risk of
any further asbestos sheeting pieces from coming to the surface in the future. The removal
of the two street trees in this position are required to facilitate these works. These are
referred to as ‘Tl’ in the attached Arboricultural Appraisal.

* Excavation works are already partially complete: Council’s asbestos removal works
required the excavation of approximately 100mm of top soil from the problem area. These
works have in effect, begun the excavation required for a vehicle crossover in this location.

* The underground services are the deepest in this location: The proposed location of the
vehicle crossover is confirmed to be situated where the existing underground Energex and
Telstra services are at the deepest location on the property frontage. This will facilitate the
construction of the crossover with least disturbance.

In addition, it has been concluded that there is no other location along the property frontage which
doesn’t have some degree of conflict. The chosen location is positioned towards the western end of
the property frontage. This is away from the intersection with Watergum Place so as to ensure that
access/egress from both our property and Watergum Place will be uncompromised.

Services

The attached ‘Longitudinal Section’ drawing by Callaghan & Toth engineers, shows the proposed
crossover being in conflict with the existing underground Telstra line position. As a result, the
proposed works have been discussed with Clint Bevan (Network Integrity Team, Telstra), see email

Page 2 of 4

Page 3

attached. Clint has advised the pipe will need to be lowered as per his email attached to this
application dated 30/01/19.

The excavation works for this purpose are required to span 15 metres either side of the proposed
driveway. As a result, we propose that the profile of the vehicle crossover is continued across the
full distance of the affected area {shown outlined in red within Figure 2 of the attached
‘Arboricultural Appraisal’). This will include battering the existing ground and levelling back to match
the proposed crossover profile. The area will then be re-turfed/seeded to re-establish grass
coverage.

These works will:

* facilitate the provision for ongoing mowing maintenance of the nature strip, by reducing the
gradient; and

* help to improve the street aesthetics, by re-establishing the grass cover in the subject area.
The grass in this area is currently non-existent or patchy at most.

Additional Street Tree Removal and Replacement Planting

Please refer to the Arboricultural Appraisal prepared by Matt Duncan at Consult Arborist Pty Ltd.
attached to this application. The two most westerly street trees (referred to as ‘T1’) are earmarked
for removal to facilitate the provision of a vehicle crossover in this location for the reasons given
above.

The third street tree is a Scribbly Gum, Eucalyptus racemose (referred to as ‘T2’), which is situated
within close proximity to the proposed new dwelling. The removal of this tree is required for the
following reasons:

* Safety: The site is in an elevated position and exposed to weather fronts as they permeate
the area. This tree is confirmed to be relatively mature and tall, and as such poses a safety
hazard to the proposed dwelling during periods of bad weather. In the interest of safety, it
is proposed that the tree is removed prior any additional growth, which could place a larger
threat to the future dwelling house.

* Vegetation coverage: There is currently poor grass coverage along the nature strip in the
location of street tree 3. This is partially due to street tree 3 in retaining the
moisture/nutrients from the ground. Removing this tree, and re-turfing/seeding the area
would give grass and vegetation a better chance to re-establish.

® Visibility: Removal will assist in providing clear lines of sight for access/egress of vehicles
into the site improving road and traffic safety.

° Damage: The works required to lower the Telstra pipe/cable will involve excavation in close
proximity to the gum tree and its root system. During these works, damage to the roots of
this tree may be unavoidable, thereby further justifying the need for its removal.

* Replacement Planting: It is accepted that any trees removed will be replaced with more
appropriate species in a more appropriate location. It is envisaged that this can be dealt
with via condition.

Summary

The location of the proposed driveway will:
° seal the ground permanently in an area which has contained asbestos sheeting;
* prevent the chance of any further pieces coming to the surface;

Page 3 of 4

Page 4

* be positioned where excavation works have already been completed as part of the removal
works and where underground services are at their deepest; and
* facilitate the replacement of more appropriate tree species in a more appropriate location.

A wider area of the nature strip can be excavated at the same width as that required for lowering
Telstra cable which will aid ongoing mowing maintenance. A third street tree is earmarked for
removal for safety, to improve grass coverage, visibility and to being damaged from excavation

works in close proximity.

We therefore recommend Council issues Operational Works approval and we look forward to
receiving Council’s favourable decision in due course.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,

Anthony Wardrop

1 RIEF

mi
W

This report was commissioned by, Anthony Wardrop the property owner in January 2019.
Consult Arborist Pty Ltd has been requested to carry out an independent Arboricultural
Appraisal and provide arboricultural advice regarding the Noosa Council street trees located
on the frontage of the site, 205 Blueberry Drive, Black Mountain.

The aim of this report is to provide information on the current condition of the trees and to
assess their suitability for future retention taking into consideration the proposed works, tree
species and future use/occupancy of the site.

This report is to be used as supporting information for the Noosa Council Operational Works
application to undertake minor earthworks and the construction of a driveway.

Matthew Duncan, the Director and Principal Arborist of Consult Arborist, undertook the Visual
Tree Assessment of the site from a ground level on Friday, 1 February 2019. Matthew holds
an AQF Level 5 (AHC50510) Diploma in Arboriculture, an International Society of
Arboriculture’s Tree Risk Assessment Qualification 2015 and has worked in the arboricultural
industry since 1994. Since its establishment in 2011, Consult Arborist has been engaged to
provide arboricultural advice and guidance on private, civil and capital works projects from
cross-sector clients throughout SEQ.

3 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

A basic Visual Tree Assessment was performed on the subject trees to determine their health,
structure and suitability for retention within their current surroundings. This included a visual
assessment of the surrounding area and the subject tree’s structure and health, from a ground
level. It includes the use of basic tools and techniques, i.e. cavity probing, minor root collar
excavation, measuring tapes and devices and photography to gather information.

The timeframe for this report is the inspection period; re-inspection should occur 1 year from
this inspection. No additional specialist equipment was used, no conclusive comments on what
may have or may be happening within the internal structure of the tree will be made. No tissue
or soil samples have been collected or submitted for testing.

The information contained in this report is based on a visual inspection of each tree and its
location, species, health and condition at the time of inspection unless otherwise stated. It is
the author's opinion and is a ‘snapshot in time’ of the specific tree's health and condition at the
time of the inspection and no guarantee can be given that faults or issues may not arise in the
future.

The relevant tree information has been recorded to be used as a functional proactive tool to
determine a safe management strategy for the trees, taking into account past works, site
activities, age and location. See Site Plans and photographs for tree locations.

SITE DESCRIPTION AND FINDINGS

¢

The three subject trees referred to in this report are identified as T1 and T2. T1 includes a
planted Giant Water Gum, Syzygium francisii, and a self-seeded Wattle, Acacia species,
located towards the western side of the site and directly on the alignment of the proposed
driveway. T2 is a planted Scribbly Gum, Eucalyptus racemosa, positioned centrally adjacent
the Lot frontage towards the toe of the batter that makes up the sloping road reserve.

The Lot is vacant and was recently purchased with the view to constructing a residential
dwelling towards the front of the site. The rear/northern section of the site slopes steeply down
to a stormwater catchment area and creek. | have been advised the steepness of the road
reserve slope is beyond the planning standards and is currently non-compliant.

In the past, a quantity of asbestos was dumped on the site. The owner and Noosa Council
have both on differing occasions acted to remove the asbestos, but | was informed that small
pieces can still be found on the site.

During the asbestos removal process turf and soil from around T2 was removed by Noosa
Council exposing and impacted the tree's surface root system. Damaged and exposed roots
can still clearly be seen on site. These works have also led to minor erosion and with sub-
soil/rock exposed is preventing the establishment of turf.

On approaching Noosa Council, the owner has been advised that a driveway on a non-
standard alignment would not be approved and that the driveway should be positioned towards
the western side of the property at 90 degrees to the kerb, rather than angled, and not to be
opposite the junction with Watergum Place.

With the site to be used as a long-term family residence, the owner seeks to undertake works
to rectify the steep non-compliant road reserve so that is safe to maintain. These works would
require the removal of the ridge that runs along the frontage of the site. The site currently
slopes steeply from the kerb up to the property boundary and then slopes down the length of
the Lot to the north. The proposal by the owner is to reduce the ridge the create a more level
frontage to the site thus reducing the slope to the road reserve. As part of these works, the
underground services are to be repositioned and the area landscaped/turfed.

5 ARBORICULTURAL APPRAISAL

5.1 11

Tree 1 is a combination of two plants growing from the same location and incorporates an
establishing Giant Water Gum, Syzygium francisii, and a self-seeded Wattle, Acacia species.
Both of these trees are directly located within the path of the proposed driveway and have had
the ground scrapped around them to remove the asbestos in the past.

  

Picture 2: Trees 1 and Driveway alignment Picture 3: Tree 2 and minor earthworks

5.2 72

Tree 2 is an early-mature planted Scribbly Gum, Eucalyptus racemosa, in the past works to
remove the asbestos has removed turf and soil from the tree's root zone with exposed roots
remaining. These works do not appear to have caused the tree harm at this stage, however
the effects of root damage can manifest over a number of years rather than months. The
proposed minor earthworks the reduce the ridge and slope are likely to intrude on the tree to
depth, up to an estimated 40% of the tree's calculated root zone of 3.6m radius. This level of
encroachment is not recommended and is contrary to AS4070-2009 Protection of trees on
development sites.

If retained, and knowing the species habits, it is likely that this tree will cause its own issues
for the residents living adjacent to it, including continuous debris drop and sporadic and
unpredictable branch failure that increases over time as the tree ages. It will also develop a
root system that is likely to cause damage to the kerb and channel in the coming years. The
poor/shallow soils found on the cut of the road reserve will not support a deep rooting system
and only promote surface spreading roots.

5.3 ARBORICULTURAL PROPOSAL

To complete the proposed works described above trees, T1 and T2 will be directly impacted
rendering them unsuitable for retention and thus requiring removal.

It is proposed that trees T1 and T2 are removed to due past root interference, design conflict
and road reserve reconfiguration. Replacement trees should be planted after the earthworks
have been completed.

Due to the nature of the shallow soils, it is recommended that oversized planting pits should
be excavated and filled with quality topsoil to provide the new trees with the best opportunity
to establish and flourish.

The suggested replacement tree species are offered to continue the current streetscape
theme and should be planted on the standard alignment 1000-1500mm behind the kerb with
the final positioned to be confirmed.

period of time. This report does not take into consideration the possibility of extreme weather or other events over which Consult
Arborist Pty Ltd has no control.

Treatment, pruning and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the Arboriculturalists services, such as
property boundaries and ownership, disputes between neighbours, sight lines, landlord-tenant matters and related. Consult
Arborist Pty Ltd cannot take such issues into account unless the complete and accurate information is given to them. Likewise,
Consult Arborist Pty Ltd cannot accept any responsibility for the authorization or non-authorization of any recommended treatment
or remedial measure.

Arboriculturalists are tree 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. Trees can be managed,
but they cannot be controlled. To live or work near a tree involves some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risks
associated with a tree is to eliminate the tree.

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

Mature: The tree reached its mature size, exhibits slowing growth rates with early stages of naturally forming dead
or dysfunctional wood.

 

Over Mature: The tree has reached maiure size and is unlike to increase significantly in height or mass. Retrenchment of
the upper crown with increased vegetative vitality in lower crown, increased fungal activity and wood decay,
increase colonisation by flora and fauna.

Veteran: Tree with advanced retrenchment, a reduced crown size and annual increment growth, extensive hollowing,
crown collapse, low vigour, advance heartwood advanced colonisation by fauna and flora.

 

     
 

 

Good: | | Tree with no defects or disorders which are notable. Full canopy with good colour foliage. Minimal pathogen

 

damage.
Fair: Tree with minor defects or disorders which are notable. Some deadwood within what can be an unbalanced

canopy, foliage generally with good colour although some discolouration may be present typical of species
in location. Minor pathogen damage.

Poor: Tree with major defects or disorders which are notable. The tree has considerable deadwood present,
discoloured or distorted leaves indicating a further decline of the tree. Detrimental pathogen damage.

Dead or dysfunctional moribund tree.

 

 

   

  
     

 

   

 

 

 

Good: Tree with good unions and no branch defects. Sound trunk with no / minor defects. Good buttress and root
structure.

Fair: Tree with minor defects or disorders which are notable. Small areas of bark missing. Small cavities or minor
unfavourable branch unions may be present. Minor damage fo roots.

This retention val mes from the Institute of Australian Consulting Arborists (ACA), 2010, IACA Significance of a Tree,
Assessment Rating System (STARS), Institute of Australian Consulting Arboriculturists, Australia, www.iaca.org.au -
http://www. iaca.org.au/home/index.php/publications/71-stars

The process uses the Retention Value — Priority Matrix by assessing the Tree Significance Assessment Criteria and crossing
it with the Estimated Life Expectancy to determine the following ratings:

High: Priority for Retention

These trees are considered important for retention and should be retained and protected. Design
modification or relocation of building/s should be considered to accommodate the setbacks as prescribed by
the Australian Standard AS4970 Protection of trees on development sites. Tree sensitive construction
measures must be implemented e.g. pier and beam etc. if works are to proceed within the Tree Protection
Zone.

Medium: Consider for Retention

These trees may be retained and protected. These are considered less critical; however, their retention
should remain a priority with removal considered only if adversely affecting the proposed building/works and
ail other altematives have been considered and exhausted.

Low: Consider for Removal

These trees are not considered important for retention, nor require special works or design modification to
be implemented for their retention.

Remove: Priority for Removal

These trees are considered hazardous, or in irreversible decline, or weeds and should be removed
irrespective of development.

Email from Clint Bevan, Network Integrity Team, Telstra Operations regarding Telstra services:
From: "Bevan, Clint" <Clint.N.Bevan@team telstra.com>

Subject: Lowering Telstra assets for driveway at 205 Blueberry Drive Black mountain.
Date: 30 January 2019 at 9:17:42 AM AEST

To: Anthony Wardrop <[email protected]>

Hi Anthony, please feel free to pass this email and my contact details on to council or other stake holders to assist in your development application.

After studying the supplied plans | am of the opinion that the Telstra conduit/s will have to be lowered to obtain the required cover under the proposed driveway.

As discussed | would suggest that you first have the bulk earth works completed. That will give us final excavation levels to work from. Once this is done we will know how

much lowering work is required and | can arrange for quote accordingly. Care will need to be taken when excavating and exposing the Telstra conduit.

Above the Telstra conduit, the survey plan (Callaghan & Toth drawing No1901-1) indicates a 4.5mt wide driveway with an additional batter on each side of approx imt. To
obtain our required cover | would expect that we will excavate and undermine our conduit for a distance of approx 30mt (15mt each side of centres).

The order of events would be 1. Bulk excavations done, 2. Telstra lowers network, 3.driveway constructed.

To lodge a project with Telstra, please fill out the attached and email it to the highlighted address on the form. You Cc me in as well. Please pass on the expected timing of

works when known.

Telstra has no objection to you proceeding with the driveway excavation with the understanding that the conduit will be lowered prior to construction of the driveway.
