Which Arborist Report Do You Need?
Why Development Is Different in the Bunmarra / Roselands Ward
The Bunmarra / Roselands Ward combines established residential neighbourhoods with busy commercial centres and major transport corridors. Development ranges from residential renewal on established lots to townhouse, apartment, mixed-use and commercial projects around centres such as Lakemba and Roselands.
Common projects include:
New homes • Knockdown rebuilds • Duplex developments • Townhouse developments • Residential flat buildings • Mixed-use developments • Commercial alterations • Childcare centres
Many developments sit on constrained sites where retained trees influence building footprints, vehicle access, underground services and construction staging. Early arboricultural assessment allows these constraints to be identified before plans are finalised, helping reduce redesigns and supporting a smoother Development Application process.
Common Tree Constraints in the Bunmarra / Roselands Ward
Projects throughout the ward commonly involve mature street trees and established landscape trees, boundary trees and shared Tree Protection Zones, restricted construction access, driveway and crossover works, underground service installation and basement/footing excavation, and construction adjacent to retained trees.
Where trees are proposed for retention, Development Arborist Reports and Arboricultural Impact Assessments can identify Tree Protection Zones, Structural Root Zones and potential development impacts in accordance with AS 4970-2025.
Suburbs We Service
Belmore: an established, predominantly residential suburb within the ward.
Beverly Hills: Beverly Hills is split between Canterbury-Bankstown and Georges River councils. If your property is here, we can confirm which council’s tree controls apply before you proceed.
Lakemba: one of the ward’s busiest commercial and transport centres, where mixed-use and commercial-alteration proposals often need to work around mature street trees.
Narwee: an established, predominantly residential suburb within the ward.
Punchbowl: Punchbowl sits within the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA but is split between two Council wards: Darani/Bankstown and Bunmarra/Roselands. If your property is in Punchbowl, we can confirm which ward applies: this doesn’t affect which council’s tree controls apply, since the whole suburb is within Canterbury-Bankstown.
Riverwood: an established residential suburb within the ward.
Roselands: a major commercial centre for the ward, with established residential suburbs surrounding it.
Wiley Park: an established, predominantly residential suburb within the ward.
Kingsgrove: Kingsgrove is split across three local government areas: Canterbury-Bankstown, Bayside and Georges River councils. This is a council (LGA) boundary, not a ward boundary: the part of Kingsgrove within Canterbury-Bankstown sits entirely within this ward. If your property is in Kingsgrove, we can confirm which council applies before you proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Often. Council's own assessment of a private-tree application is a visual inspection from ground level. Where a tree needs detailed inspection of features more than 2 metres above ground or below ground, Council requires a report from a qualified arborist (minimum AQF Level 5), such as an aerial assessment or root investigation. Arbor Express prepares these reports.
