Expert Arborist Reports Across the Central Coast and Hunter
The Central Coast and Hunter Region cover coastal communities, major urban centres, lakeside suburbs and rapidly expanding residential areas, from established properties around Gosford and Terrigal to redevelopment across Lake Macquarie and Newcastle and the growing corridors of Maitland and Cessnock.
Where proposed works affect existing trees, an AQF Level 5 arborist report may be required to assess development impacts, establish tree protection measures or provide supporting documentation for the relevant council.
We work throughout Central Coast, Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, Maitland and Cessnock councils for homeowners, architects, builders, developers and strata managers. With 32+ years of experience, we prepare reports suited to each council area, development and the trees involved.
