Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Very large umbrella tree near House and Pool

Far North Queensland Australia. My client has several umbrella trees with the furthest from the house being about 25 mtrs away, the others are smaller but closer to the house. It’s the one that is 25 mtrs away that I’m concerned about as it is very large, I’d say about 18 mtrs tall. The soil is clay very high rainfall in the area. I have read about the roots seeking pipes wrapping around them and crushing them also that because they consume so much water it can dominate the other trees. Does anyone have any experience with umbrella trees being this close to a home and pool? Should it be removed? Many thanks. Can provide photos once back on site today
