Response to Info Request - Attachment 8 - Arborist Report MCU18-0015 & RAL18-0001 · MCU18/0015

6.6 During Construction


The site arborist shall be present to supervise any excavation, trenching or tunnelling located
on the site that may affect any tree roots, and shall keep a record of works to present to Council
after completion of construction.

There will be no allowed access within the fenced off tree protection zones without the consent
of the site arborist.



6.7 Post Construction


A post construction assessment shall be undertaken by the site arborist to determine the health
and vigour of all retained trees on the site. Any documentation that council may require will be
submitted for review at this time.

The assessment shall include recommendations for any future pruning works or any corrective
arboricultural action to be taken if required.

The site arborist will liaise with the landscape architect and landscaper so as to minimise any
disturbances to the retained trees on the site during landscaping. If at any point landscape
works with the landscaper are identified that may cause damage to the trees, the site arborist
is to work with the landscaper to eliminate detrimental impacts.

Work or construction that is contrary to these guidelines shall make the person responsible or
liable for any damage to any tree.

If the work or construction contrary to these guidelines results in the loss of any tree,
implementation of remedial arboricultural procedures, and / or required removal of any tree,
the person responsible is liable for any cost incurred for these actions, in addition to any fines
imposed by Noosa Council

If this work or construction results in the loss of any tree, a tree valuation (Thyer’s Method
based on the tree condition prior to construction) undertaken by the site arborist will determine
the amount of compensation available to the owner of the property, on and above any other
cost incurred by the responsible person.

At no point are these guidelines finite, and at any time the site arborist may designate additional
procedures or requirements to protect the trees on the site when required.
