Impact assessment

You need usfor development applications. These reports are a site assessment necessary for a planning permit application. These are needed when a property is being developed in any way.

Tree protection plan (Tpp).

This report is needed after an Impact Assessment has been completed. Once a planning permit is issued, a tree protection plan is often a requirement from council as a condition of the planning permit. This report highlights how to build on the site whilst retaining the trees in a safe and structurally sound manner. A TPP is necessary for sites with neighbouring trees or council trees.

Impact Assessment + Tree Protection Plan

We offer a combined service as a discounted cost to produce both these necessary reports as one document. As council often require a TPP once a planning permit is granted, we can reduce the cost by including this report along with the initial Impact Assessment. This has become a popular product of ours, as it streamlines the process for a reduce price, as well as reducing stress about obtaining the services of an arborist at the last minute once it is realised a TPP is needed.

Project arborist services

For the compliant management of a Tree Protection Plan, a designated Project Arborist is requried. This service involves undertaking the site inductions, during construction sign-offs, as well as post-construction sign-off. As your project arborist we are on call to liaise with council or contractors when needed.

Project arborist supervision

Many sites require a project arborist onsite during construction near trees when it is taking place inside the Tree Protection Zone.

Removal application assessment

For when a tree is planned for removal. Council have local laws in place protecting most trees. Trees need to be demonstrated as dangerous by Arborist assessment methods, or shown to be causing damage to structures. Council always have the final say on granting a removal permit for these.

Arboricultural assessment

A broad type of report which can cover any tree-related issue. Common assessments include neighbouring trees disputes, VCAT applications, general tree assessments, insurance matters, etc.
