Expert Arborist Reports Across Naremburn Ward
Naremburn Ward covers the south-west of the LGA, including Artarmon, the Willoughby City part of St Leonards, and parts of Naremburn and Willoughby.
The ward is strongly influenced by transport corridors and the St Leonards and Artarmon centres. Current NSW housing reforms also increase development opportunities within 800 metres of Artarmon Station and around St Leonards, including parts of Naremburn. That means mature residential trees increasingly need to be considered alongside more intensive development.
Which Arborist Report Do You Need?
Established Housing, Transport Corridors & Increasing Density
Naremburn contains mature residential streets alongside major transport infrastructure and proximity to St Leonards. Artarmon combines established homes and mature canopy with increasing redevelopment pressure around its station.
The parts of Willoughby in this ward similarly combine established homes and mature canopy with redevelopment pressure. Artarmon, and the parts of Naremburn near St Leonards, are affected by planning changes designed to enable additional low- and mid-rise housing. On constrained development sites, neighbouring trees can become particularly important because their root systems and calculated Tree Protection Zones may extend into the development property.

Willoughby City Council Tree Guidelines in Naremburn Ward
Willoughby's current vegetation-management controls apply throughout the ward. A permit is generally required for trees exceeding Council's height, girth or crown-spread thresholds, locally native vegetation, or trees within a defined wildlife corridor or habitat area, unless an exemption applies.
Trees affected by Development Applications can require arboricultural assessment and Tree Protection Plans. This is particularly relevant where development intensity is increasing around transport centres.
Council arborist-report requirement: Where Willoughby Council requires an arboriculture report for an application to clear vegetation, Council states that the report must be prepared by an AQF Level 5 Consultant Arborist and that the company preparing it must not be financially affiliated with, or have a business relationship with, a tree removal/pruning company. Arbor Express is a consulting-only practice with no tree removal or pruning business, so our reports meet this requirement.
Replacement planting: approved tree removal currently attracts a 3:1 replacement requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Roots and Tree Protection Zones can cross the property boundary. On Naremburn's narrow lots, a neighbour's tree can shape where additions, garages or services can go, so the Arboricultural Impact Assessment should show how it will be protected.
The NSW low- and mid-rise housing reforms can increase development opportunities near Artarmon and St Leonards, but they do not automatically remove Willoughby's vegetation-management requirements. Trees still need to be assessed through the DA.
Yes. Trees proposed for removal can be assessed within the development arboricultural process. For standalone private-tree removal or pruning questions unrelated to development, Willoughby City Council's Trees on your property page sets out the current application process.
Yes. Where the Development Consent requires it, Arbor Express provides Tree Protection Plans, construction-stage inspections, supervision of works within Tree Protection Zones and compliance certification.
