6th August 2012


To Chairperson
Sun Lagoon Body Corporate

Laguna Building Consultants installed a new Kliplok roof at Sun Lagoon’s building C in
October 2011.
During our maintenance inspection of Building C roof in January 2012 (included in our
warranty), we found that a large amount of leaves and other tree debris had fallen on the
roof since the installation. I warned you at the time that the debris can damage the roofing.
I explained that the large gum tree at the eastern side of Building C (the lagoon-facing
building on Noosa Parade) is the main problem, and I recommended its removal.
Since then a further problem has developed at Building C relating to the debris from the
same tree, this time affecting gutters, rain headers, adjacent unit balcony light fittings and
electrical wiring. At the request of the Onsite Manager, I inspected water ingress to
external lights at Building C, units 28 and 29. Water ingress has occurred in the soffits
through overflow at back of the gutter, due to the debris. Water has drained to the adjacent
light fittings in the soffits. The roof gutters and rain headers are totally blocked with debris
(leaves, etc.) resulting in gutter overflow at fascia.
Adjacent trees to the side of roof will create an ongoing problem and monthly maintenance
(cleaning roof and gutters) will be costly.
The tree is located within 2 metres of rendered block boundary wall and within 4 metres of
building foundation. Engineers recommend the distance between trees and building be not
less than 1.5 the mature height of tree to prevent damage at building foundation and
structural cracking.

So I recommend removal of the gum tree on Noosa Parade that is causing damage to
roofing and infrastructure at Building C, Sun Lagoon resort.


Yours faithfully
