Frequently Asked Questions
When should a Project Arborist be engaged during a development?
Engage a Project Arborist early, ideally before finalising designs, to avoid approval delays.
Early involvement identifies TPZ and SRZ constraints and ensures protection measures are built into plans.
Are Project Arborist reports required for DA and CDC approvals?
Yes. Where trees are retained or impacted, a Project Arborist is typically required. We prepare and implement tree protection plans in line with AS 4970 and Council conditions.
Do you provide on-site supervision during construction?
Yes. Supervision is provided at key construction stages. We inspect works near trees, record compliance and issue certification.
Are your reports accepted by Hills Shire Council and private certifiers?
Yes. Our Level 5 reports are accepted across NSW. Documentation meets AS 4970 and Hills Shire Tree Management Controls.
