Arborist Reports For Development in Whitehorse City Council
Need an Impact Assessment?
Whitehorse Council requires an arborist report for works that may affect protected trees, especially within Tree Protection Zones. Our Impact Assessments are tailored to meet council regulations, helping ensure fast, compliant approvals for your project.
We Know SLO9 Backwards
If you’re planning to develop in Whitehorse, an Arborist Impact Assessment is essential. Under SLO9, any tree removal or construction near significant vegetation requires a detailed assessment. Our reports evaluate tree health, structural integrity, and potential development impact — all aligned with Council expectations.

An Impact Assessment is a formal arborist report that examines how your proposed development might affect trees — yours, your neighbour’s, or even Council-managed trees. Whether you’re planning a new crossover, a unit subdivision, or general construction, this report identifies risks, maps root zones, and provides strategies to minimise damage. Councils rely on this to decide on permit approvals, so getting it right is crucial.
All our staff are qualified AQF Level 5+ Arborists with years of construction and planning experience. Your in the right hands. We know how to navigate council and produce compliant reports.
You need an AIA Report because councils like Whitehorse require expert documentation showing that your project won’t negatively affect trees nearby. Without it, your planning permit could be delayed or refused. This assessment shows you’ve considered all trees that may be impacted — including trees on your property, neighbouring properties, nature strips, and council reserves.
We’re experts in navigating complex planning zones — especially where construction affects neighbouring trees, council trees, or sensitive root zones. We identify exemptions, provide clear methods to work near council trees, and prepare reports that align with local laws. Our documentation is designed to keep your team, the planners — and even the trees — on side, so your project moves forward smoothly.
We work with projects at any stage — from purchase to pre-construction. Our arborist impact assessments stay flexible, growing with your plans as more detail becomes available.
Just purchased? We highlight constraints and opportunities early so you know what’s possible before committing to designs.
In the design phase? We provide recommendations that align with council rules and help inform smarter layouts.
Have plans and a survey? Perfect — those are exactly what we need to complete your final arborist report for council submission.
Still waiting on final docs? No problem — we’ll start now and update the same report as your project evolves.
It’s one report. Built to move with you.
