Frequently Asked Questions
When should a Level 5 arborist be engaged during the DA process?
Engage a Level 5 arborist early, ideally before lodging plans, to avoid costly design changes or approval delays.
Early arborist input identifies tree constraints, TPZ and SRZ impacts and approval risks before plans are finalised.
How fast can I get my DA arborist report?
Reports are delivered within the timeframe you need, with fast-track options available.
All documentation is formatted for upload to the NSW Planning Portal.
Are your reports accepted by Hills Shire Council and private certifiers?
Yes. Our reports are prepared to Council standards and accepted across NSW. Reports comply with AS 4970 and Hills Shire Tree Management Controls.
Do you submit the DA to Council on my behalf?
We prepare the full arborist documentation required for lodgement. While we do not lodge applications on your behalf, we provide a complete, Council-ready report package.
