Our Arborist services include single tree assessments for private residences, assistance with council approved tree removal or larger impact assessments and arboricultural audits for large scale developments and government projects.

Arboricultural Impact Assessments for Development Applications (DA)

An arboricultural impact assessment is an evaluation providing tree removal, retention and protection advice. The assessment looks at how a construction project might affect nearby trees. We can assist during the design phase of a project or following, provided that survey plans showing tree locations can be provides. Most local councils will require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment as part of most development projects.

An arboricultural impact assessment is a common arborist tree report that outlines tree protection zones and tree protection guidelines on development sites.

Tree Health and Condition Assessment

A health assessment evaluates the well-being of trees by examining factors such as disease, pests, structure, and vitality. This evaluation helps determine the overall health of the trees and guides decisions on how to manage them. You can conduct this assessment on large development sites as well as small residential properties. Starting with a visual tree assessment is often the best approach.

We can provide this as verbal advice on site or as a part of larger report depending on the needs of your project.

Risk Assessments

A systematic evaluation conducted to identify and analyse potential hazards associated with trees. Arborist reports and risk assessments are important for tree care. Only arborists with a minimum AQF level 5 should conduct risk assessment tree reports or hazard assessments.

To determine a tree's level of risk it is assessed for structural weaknesses, disease, or proximity to structures and people. These factors inform our recommendations for appropriate management measures to mitigate those risks. We use the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) methodology and have two registered QTRA assessors as part of our team. Experience and knowledge of how to perform risk assessments is important when choosing a qualified consulting arborist.
