MOUNT VIEW HOMESTEAD COMPLEX - Physical Description 1
Mount View is a farm complex comprising a house (appears c1912 or earlier, however family believes is c1920-21), and several outbuildings in proximity to the house. All of the buildings are of timber and the outbuildings appear to pre-date the house. The garden is surrounded by a post and rail fence and to the front is a comprosma hedge, and to the side is a cypress hedge. There is a tennis court to one side of the house. Several palm trees are located at the corners of the house and there were once two other palms now removed from the front garden.
To the rear of the house is a weatherboard gabled roof outbuilding used as a dairy and wash-house, and to one side is a large outbuilding built of a variety of timber palings, corrugated iron and weatherboard cladding. This has been built in several stages and been extended lengthwise as well as an added transverse gable that was built on to use as a garage. A further outbuilding closer to the house was designed as a garage in complementary style. The house has a very high hipped roof and return verandah butting into side wings. There is timber strapping decoration to the front gable, corbels beneath the eaves and the bull nosed verandah has timber fretwork decoration. There are several tall brick chimneys with shaped cornices executed in face brick. Externally the house is in good condition and is highly intact.

MOUNT VIEW HOMESTEAD COMPLEX - Physical Conditions
Generally good, however pine trees are in poor condition.
Clause 43.01 of the planning scheme clearly outlines that a permit is not required for the removal, destroying, or lopping of a tree if it presents an immediate risk of personal injury or damage to property. This wording is as follows:
43.01-1 Permit requirement
A permit is required to:
Remove, destroy, or lop a tree if the schedule to this overlay identifies the heritage place as one where tree controls apply. This does not apply:
- To any action which is necessary to keep the whole or any part of a tree clear of an electric line provided the action is carried out in accordance with a code of practice prepared under Section 86 of the Electricity Safety Act 1998.
- If the tree presents an immediate risk of personal injury or damage to property.
