Arbor Express prepares Council-ready Arborist Reports across Central Coast Council for Development Applications, Private Tree Works applications and Health & Safety Tree Assessments, meeting Council's Tree and Vegetation Management requirements.
Servicing Gosford, Wyong and every suburb across Central Coast Council.
Central Coast Council spans established suburbs from Gosford to Wyong, coastal properties and bushland-fringed acreages further inland. Extensions, renovations and construction near retained trees mean an Arborist Report is often needed before a Development Application or Private Tree Works application can proceed.
Extensions, renovations and knockdown rebuilds are the most common reason property owners across the Central Coast need a DA Arborist Report, with construction near a house, garage or pool frequently requiring assessment of retained trees before works proceed.

Our Arborist Reports are available throughout the Central Coast Council area, from Gosford and the surrounding suburbs through to Wyong and the northern Central Coast, as well as coastal, lakeside and hinterland communities across the region.
We service residential and development projects throughout the Central Coast, including areas around Gosford, Erina, Terrigal, Woy Woy, Umina Beach, The Entrance, Tuggerah and Wyong, along with surrounding suburbs and localities across the Central Coast Council area.
Central Coast Council protects trees on privately owned land under Chapter 3.5 Tree and Vegetation Management of its Development Control Plan, made under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021.
Understanding these requirements early can help avoid delays and ensure your project complies with Council's planning controls.
Exemptions include dead trees, non-native shrubs and groundcover maintained for lawns and gardens, native shrub and groundcover maintenance up to 50m², and pruning up to 10% of a tree's foliage in a growing season in accordance with AS 4373. Vegetation eligible under the NSW RFS 10/50 Code is also exempt. We can confirm exemption status before you proceed.
In most cases, yes. A Private Tree Works application is required if a tree is over 3 metres in height with a trunk diameter greater than 75mm, or if you want to prune or remove a tree more than 3 metres from a Council-approved building such as your house, garage or pool.
Not through the standard Private Tree Works application. Tree removal or pruning connected to building work or a pool installation is assessed as part of the Development Application or Complying Development Certificate process instead.
Council will generally accept this where evidence, including photographs and a written statement from a Consulting (AQF5) Arborist, confirms the tree was dead, dying, or posed an imminent risk, retained by the landowner for 12 months and available to Council on request.
Fast-track reporting is available for urgent and hazardous tree assessments, subject to availability.
Yes. We prepare DA Arborist Reports at design stage, Tree Protection Plans post-approval, and Project Arborist inspections through construction for residential and commercial projects across the Central Coast.
