Expert Arborist Reports Across Canterbury-Bankstown Council
Bankstown, Canterbury, Campsie, Revesby, Padstow and every other Canterbury-Bankstown suburb.
We prepare practical, evidence-based reports for homeowners, builders, architects, developers, strata managers and project teams, supporting planning approvals, tree management and development across the council area.
New dwellings, knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancies, apartments and mixed-use projects are the most common reasons owners need a DA arborist report. Mature canopy, urban renewal and Council requirements make arboricultural assessment an important part of many projects.
Which Arborist Report Do You Need?
Canterbury-Bankstown Council Wards We Service
Canterbury-Bankstown has five wards - Darani / Bankstown, Bura / Bass Hill, Budjar / Canterbury, Bunya / Revesby and Bunmarra / Roselands. Select your ward below for local information about AQF Level 5 Arborist Reports, Development Applications, tree removal assessments and construction near protected trees. Ward boundary note: Some suburbs are split by ward or council boundaries. Punchbowl spans the Darani / Bankstown and Bunmarra / Roselands wards, while parts of Greenacre, Chester Hill, Regents Park, Croydon Park and Kingsgrove cross local government boundaries. Council's current mapping should be used to confirm the correct ward and LGA for a specific property.

Canterbury-Bankstown Council Tree Guidelines
Canterbury-Bankstown Council regulates tree removal, pruning and development affecting trees through its Tree Management Order, which applies broadly to trees on private land across the council area.
- DAs affecting existing trees commonly require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment to AS 4970.
- Tree removal and major pruning generally require Council approval, with limited exemptions for imminent risk to life or property and declared noxious weeds.
- Approved removals may include replacement planting, with the number and size of trees set by Council.
- Additional requirements may apply within Heritage Conservation Areas and where development affects retained trees.
- We check the requirements for your site and prepare the documentation to support your application.
