Get a free quoteThe Hills Shire Council frequently asks for an arborist report to support a tree removal application, particularly for large or native trees. The report assesses the tree's health, structure and risk, and gives a recommendation the council can rely on.
For building work, a DA usually needs an Arboricultural Impact Assessment covering trees on and adjoining the site, with tree protection measures. We prepare these to the relevant Australian standard.
Reports are prepared by an AQF Level 5 consulting arborist and typically delivered within a week of the site visit.
Price guide
Single-tree reports from around $400. Multi-tree and development reports quoted on scope. Every job is quoted on site at a fixed price.
Questions about arborist reports
Will a report guarantee council approval?
No. It gives the council an independent, qualified assessment, which is what they need to make a decision. A clear, well-evidenced report significantly improves the chance of approval.
