Arboricultural Impact Assessments and Tree Protection Plans

Evaluate the potential impact of a proposed development on trees within and surrounding the development site with an Arboricultural Impact Assessment. Our qualified AQF Level 5 Arborists produce these arborist assessment reports, which are commonly required as part of the Development Application (DA) process by local councils.

With the help of our arborist assessment reports, you can:

Evaluate and plan development projects thoroughly

Our assessment process involves a thorough evaluation of each tree's health, species, useful lifetime, significance and retention values. With this information, our arborists can determine which trees can be removed to accommodate the development and which trees should be retained and protected in accordance with AS-4970-2009 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites).

Preserve valuable trees with alternative designs

While it may be necessary to remove a high-value tree in some cases to allow the development to proceed, we consider this option only after exploring alternative designs. Expect our arborist assessment reports to include design suggestions or construction techniques to ensure the development can proceed while preserving valuable trees.

Preliminary Arboricultural Impact Assessments

When planning a new development, it is crucial to carefully consider the retention value of any trees located on the site, as well as the potential impact of the development on their health and longevity.

At Arbor Express, we specialise in evaluating trees to determine their retention values and the likelihood of them needing to be protected in accordance with the AS-4970-2009 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites) standard.

Through our arborist assessment reports, our team of AQF Level 5 arborists provides valuable insights into the likelihood of various outcomes regarding the retention or removal of specific trees. While the ultimate decision on tree retention or removal rests with the local council, we can help developers and architects understand the potential constraints that may arise due to the trees on the site.
