Which Tree Compliance Service Do You Need?
Council and Removal Compliance
Tree removal requirements vary between NSW councils: species, size, location and condition can all affect whether approval or an exemption applies. Councils are also involved at other points in the compliance journey, including conditions of consent, compliance notices and inspections during or after works.
See Tree Removal Reports or browse our locations.
Development Compliance
Where trees are part of a broader development, compliance begins with the reports that support your Development Application and establish the conditions your project needs to meet, carried through to Tree Protection Plans and construction-stage supervision.
Construction Compliance
Once consent is issued, compliance shifts from documentation to implementation on site: tree protection measures installed and maintained, arborist inspections at required hold points, and compliance reporting through to completion.
See Project Arborist Sydney and Construction Tree Compliance.
Ecological Compliance
Some projects also involve native vegetation, habitat or threatened species considerations, assessed during planning and, where required, supervised during construction.
See Flora and Fauna Assessments and Project Ecologist Sydney.
