Arbor Express prepares AQF Level 5 Arborist Reports throughout Cumberland Council for Development Applications, Health & Safety Tree Assessments and Tree Removal Reports.
We assist homeowners, builders, architects, developers, strata managers and project teams by preparing practical, evidence-based arboricultural reports that support planning approvals, tree management and development outcomes throughout the Cumberland Local Government Area.
New dwellings, knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancies, townhouse developments and commercial projects are among the most common reasons property owners throughout Cumberland Council require a DA Arborist Report.
Mature tree canopy, ongoing redevelopment and Council planning requirements make arboricultural assessment an important part of many projects.

From Granville, Merrylands and Wentworthville through to Greystanes, Auburn and surrounding suburbs, we provide independent consulting arborist services tailored to residential, commercial and development projects.
Prepared in accordance with AS 4970 – Protection of Trees on Development Sites, these services help protect retained trees while supporting ongoing compliance with Development Consent conditions.
Prepared to support Development Applications by assessing tree health, structural condition, Tree Protection Zone impacts and the likely effect of proposed development on existing trees. Reports are prepared for Council lodgement in accordance with current planning requirements.
Prepared using recognised tree risk assessment methodologies for trees displaying signs of decline, decay, structural defects or instability. These reports provide independent, evidence-based advice for homeowners, strata managers, insurers, businesses and local government requirements.
Following Development Consent, our AQF Level 5 Project Arborists help satisfy Council conditions throughout demolition and construction, including:
Supporting applications to remove or prune protected trees, including hazardous, dead, dying or structurally unsound trees together with trees requiring Council approval outside of a Development Application.
Fast-track reporting services are available for urgent Development Application deadlines.
Call 0494 077 630 to discuss your deadlines.
Established residential neighbourhoods with ongoing knockdown rebuilds, dual occupancies and townhouse developments, where DA Arborist Reports, Health & Safety Tree Assessments and arboricultural advice are regularly required.
A mix of established homes and higher-density redevelopment, where mature trees frequently influence Development Applications, tree retention and construction planning.
Growing residential, commercial and industrial precincts where we prepare Arborist Reports for new developments, tree removal applications and Health & Safety Tree Assessments.
Established urban areas containing residential, commercial and industrial development, where Arborist Reports commonly support Development Applications, tree management and Council approval requirements.
Cumberland Council has tree preservation controls that may apply to tree removal, pruning and Development Applications affecting existing trees.
Requirements vary across Cumberland Council. The former Holroyd area applies different size thresholds to other parts of the Local Government Area, while additional controls may apply within Heritage Conservation Areas, including Granville and parts of Lidcombe. We can confirm whether approval is required before you proceed.
In most situations, yes. Approval depends on factors such as the tree's size, species, location, heritage status and whether it is affected by a proposed Development Application.
An Arborist Report may include a tree health and structural assessment, Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) and Structural Root Zone (SRZ) calculations, retention recommendations and tree protection measures. The exact content depends on whether the report supports a Development Application, tree removal application or Health & Safety assessment.
Fast-track reporting is available for urgent and hazardous tree assessments, subject to current availability.
Yes. We prepare DA Arborist Reports during the design stage, Tree Protection Plans following Development Consent, and provide Project Arborist inspections throughout demolition and construction for residential, commercial and industrial developments across Cumberland Council.
Whether you're lodging a Development Application, require a Health & Safety Tree Assessment, or are applying to remove or prune a tree, Arbor Express prepares AQF Level 5 Arborist Reports throughout Cumberland Council.
