Project Arborist

AQF Level 5 Project Arborist

At Arbor Express, we take pride in being the designated project arborist for all arborist reports we prepare. We understand that the approval process for new developments often includes a condition necessitating the presence of a site arborist or project arborist during specific stages of the project. This arborist plays a crucial role in overseeing all activities within the Tree Protection Zones (TPZs) for trees required to be retained.

Our AQF Level 5 project arborist services encompass the following:

  • On-site supervision of critical excavation activities within tree protection zones
  • On-call consultation through phone or email to address any questions or issues that may arise during construction phases
  • Comprehensive documentation of project milestones or as per the conditions outlined in the notice of determination of development application (DA)

Upon completion of the development, we provide the following essential services:

  • Preparation of a comprehensive report detailing all construction activities carried out within the TPZs
  • Documentation of the tree protection measures implemented throughout the project
  • Issuance of a final certification, confirming compliance with AS-4970-2009 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites) or the specific DA conditions, if they differ

This final certification holds significant importance, as it is a prerequisite for the developer or property owner to obtain the occupancy certificate for the newly constructed development.

The extent of compliance documentation required can vary based on the size and specifics of the development. Nonetheless, it includes a requirement to meet specified tree protection conditions before the issuance of a construction certificate and commencement of construction activities. Post-construction, official confirmation of adherence to these protection conditions is essential for obtaining the occupancy certificate.

At Arbor Express, we are committed to providing comprehensive compliance certification services for both the construction certificate and the occupancy certificate. We also ensure that all necessary Tree Protection Plans, as stipulated in the DA conditions, are meticulously prepared and adhered to throughout the development process.
