Expert Arborist Reports Across Campbelltown Council

Covering Campbelltown, Leumeah, Bradbury, Ambarvale, Gregory Hills, Minto and every Campbelltown LGA suburb.

Campbelltown Council combines established suburbs such as Campbelltown, Leumeah and Bradbury with the fast-growing communities of Gregory Hills, Gilead and Menangle Park. Mature street trees, new housing estates and native vegetation mean Arborist Reports are commonly required for Development Applications, tree removal and construction near retained trees.

Areas We Service Throughout Campbelltown Council

Campbelltown & Central Business District

  • Ambarvale
  • Bradbury
  • Campbelltown
  • Leumeah
  • Rosemeadow

Campbelltown is the commercial heart of the region, where redevelopment and mature street trees frequently require Arborist Reports for Development Applications and construction projects.

Western Growth Corridor

  • Eschol Park
  • Gledswood Hills
  • Gregory Hills
  • Raby
  • St Helens Park

New housing estates alongside retained vegetation and environmental corridors make tree assessments a routine part of planning and construction throughout these rapidly growing suburbs.

Southern Rural and Growth Areas

  • Gilead
  • Glen Alpine
  • Kentlyn
  • Menangle
  • Menangle Park

Large residential lots, semi-rural properties and major urban expansion mean development here frequently requires arboricultural assessment to balance growth with tree retention.

Eastern Bushland & Residential Areas

  • Airds
  • Blair Athol
  • Blairmount
  • Bow Bowing
  • Claymore
  • Eagle Vale
  • Wedderburn

Properties bordering bushland reserves and national park land often contain mature native vegetation requiring careful assessment for development and tree removal applications.

Established Residential Communities

  • Denham Court
  • Ingleburn
  • Macquarie Fields
  • Macquarie Links
  • Minto
  • Minto Heights

Mature gardens and large canopy trees across these long-established suburbs generate regular demand for Arborist Reports supporting Development Applications, secondary dwellings and tree removal.

Campbelltown Tree Preservation Rules

Campbelltown City Council may require a Tree Permit, Development Application (DA) or Arborist Report where proposed development or tree work affects protected vegetation. Council assesses tree retention, development impacts and protection measures under the Campbelltown Development Control Plan and AS 4970.

  • Council approval may be required for trees over 3 metres in height, with a trunk circumference of 500 mm or more measured at ground level, or a canopy spread of 4 metres or more.
  • Protected vegetation includes Declared Trees, Heritage Declared Vegetation, Biodiversity Declared Vegetation and Other Declared Vegetation, each with different approval pathways.
  • Development Applications affecting retained trees commonly require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment, TPZ/SRZ Assessment and Tree Protection Plan prepared in accordance with AS 4970.
  • Trees over 10 metres generally require an AQF Level 5 Arborist Report.
  • Supporting arboricultural evidence may be required where the condition of a dangerous tree is not immediately obvious.
  • Campbelltown's Significant Tree Register provides additional protection for trees of historic, landscape, botanical, cultural or commemorative significance.
  • Unauthorised tree removal or pruning may result in enforcement action, penalties and replacement planting requirements.
  • We can determine whether your project requires a Tree Permit, Development Application or Arborist Report and prepare Council-compliant documentation to support your application.

Understanding these requirements early helps determine whether a Tree Permit, an Arborist Report or a full Arboricultural Impact Assessment will be required before lodging a Development Application or commencing construction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my tree exempt from Council approval?

A permit may not be required for trees under the relevant height, trunk circumference and canopy spread thresholds, dead or dying trees, or vegetation Council has otherwise exempted. We can confirm exemption status before you proceed.

Do I need Council approval to remove a tree?

In most cases, yes. A private tree may require Council approval for pruning or removal if it exceeds the applicable size thresholds or is otherwise protected under Council's vegetation controls.

What are Campbelltown's vegetation protection categories?

Council recognises four categories of protected vegetation: Declared Trees, Heritage Declared Vegetation, Biodiversity Declared Vegetation and Other Declared Vegetation, each with different approval pathways depending on the level of protection.

How soon can you attend for an urgent assessment?

Fast-track reporting is available for urgent and hazardous tree assessments, subject to availability.

Do you prepare reports for builders, architects and developers?

Yes. We prepare DA Arborist Reports during the design stage, Tree Protection Plans following approval and provide Project Arborist inspections throughout construction for residential and commercial developments across Campbelltown.

Do I need an Arborist Report for a CDC?

Many Complying Development Certificate (CDC) projects affecting trees still require an arboricultural assessment demonstrating compliance with AS 4970 and the relevant planning controls.
