Level 5 Arborists Supporting Tree Permits, Reports and Council Approvals
Hills Shire Tree Permit Services provides independent arborist reporting and permit support for property owners, builders and consultants working within The Hills Shire Council area.
Our work focuses on helping clients understand Council requirements relating to tree removal, pruning and development works. From the initial site inspection through to Council-ready documentation, our Level 5 Arborists prepare reports that are clear, practical and aligned with Hills Shire Council controls.
We work across residential properties, development sites and construction projects, producing arborist reports that support approvals while addressing safety, compliance and tree protection requirements.
Experience and Capability Backed by Arbor Express Sydney
Hills Shire Tree Permit Services operates with the support of Arbor Express Sydney, a long-established arboricultural consultancy with more than 32 years of industry experience.
This backing provides access to consistent reporting systems, proven assessment processes and technical knowledge developed across NSW and the ACT. Our experience allows us to identify potential issues early, apply the correct standards and reduce the likelihood of delays during Council assessment.
All reports are prepared by AQF Level 5 Arborists and presented in a straightforward format that meets Council and certifier expectations.

- Tree condition, structure and safety considerations
