The following tree protection procedures are to be undertaken during the development
of the site to insure the safe, healthy, and long-term retention of retained trees
(numbered 7, 8 and 9 in the arborist report by Leaf & Limb Horticultural
Consultancy) identified in the operational works approved by Sunshine Coast
Regional Council. This document is to read in conjunction with the Arborist Report
prepared by Leaf & Limb Horticultural Consultancy for the site.

A laminated copy of these tree protection procedures is to be attached to any tree
protection fencing on the site, and a copy is to be retained on site by the building
contractor supervising the project.

The area within the Tree Protection Zone of any protected tree will be mulched to a
depth of 75mm with composted wood and leaf mulch (created by tree chipper), which
contains no soil fines. The TPZ is to be irrigated once per week or have five 200-litre
drip drums installed (filled twice a week).
