e Grabbing and tearing of tree roots by machinery is prohibited, and the
contractor responsible will become liable for any arboricultural work to rectify
the damage.

e No roots greater than 25mm shall be cut during construction without consent
of the site arborist. All tree roots cut are to be identified and documented by
the site arborist.

e There will be no allowed access within the fenced off tree protection zone
without the consent of the site arborist or as allowed by the installation of
methods described under 4.5 of AS4970-2009.

Post Construction

e 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.

e 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 disturbance to the retained trees on the site during landscaping.
If at any point landscape works 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 Sunshine Coast Regional 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 costs incurred by the person responsible.

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