Trees Down Under prepares pre-construction tree protection plans for owners, builders and developers across Sydney. Book a free tree inspection or request a same-day quote before excavation starts, or call 0475 463 597 any time.
Most Sydney councils want a complete package lodged with the development application (DA), and gaps are a common reason approvals stall. A thorough plan typically covers:
The arborist assessment should also confirm the work fits the local Tree Management DCP and any conditions attached to the site. Councils can set limits on what is cleared and when, so an incomplete or mismatched plan means requests for more information, rework and lost weeks before anyone can start.
We work with every local council in Sydney. Get the arborist documentation right at the start and permits don’t have to be a headache.

If a DA or building start date is coming up, a free tree inspection is the quickest way to find out what your site needs. Call 0475 463 597 any time, and same-day quoting is available for tree removal Sydney projects.
Any tree within about 10 feet (3 metres) of a proposed structure, and any tree that can’t cope with protection measures, should be marked for removal at the initial site assessment. These trees rarely survive construction and put workers and machinery at risk. Trees Down Under delivers the plan in four parts, backed by AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists.
Arborist assessment and report. You receive a written arborist report covering every tree near the work zone, with a clear keep-or-remove decision for each.
Protection zone mapping. You receive a site plan showing each Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) and Structural Root Zone (SRZ).
On-site protection and compliance advice. You receive guidance on protecting the trees you keep, and any tree before removal is documented where needed.
Council liaison and permit guidance. We check council requirements and help with permits before any removal goes ahead.

Heavy machinery compacts soil and tears roots, so the trees you keep need protection planned before work starts. Trees Down Under delivers this in four parts:

A pre-construction tree protection plan only works if the site is set up for it. Trees Down Under plans every job in zones: a drop zone where timber may land, a work zone for the climber and ground crew, an access path for equipment, and a staging area for branches and logs. The crew sets up exclusion zones so other people and vehicles stay clear while work is underway.
On a development site, tree removal rarely happens in isolation. It may involve vegetation clearing, staged removals, machinery access planning and coordination with other trades, so excavators, concrete trucks and scaffolders aren’t competing for the same ground. Larger projects can also carry extra documentation and council conditions on what can be cleared and when, which is why checking council requirements before any tree removal Sydney job begins matters. Trees Down Under owns its crane fleet, which makes it easier to remove trees where machinery access is tight.
If a project is about to start, call 0475 463 597 any time to book a free tree inspection and arrange same-day quoting.
Council approval usually hinges on one thing: a complete tree protection plan. Most Sydney councils expect an arborist assessment of every tree on and near the site, TPZ and SRZ measurements, and a site plan showing protection fencing and no-go areas. The construction restrictions that apply to each tree also need to be spelled out. If any of these are missing, the DA can stall while council asks for more information.
Local overlays and council conditions can also limit what is cleared and when, so a tree removal that looks simple on paper may need staging or extra documentation. Getting professional tree documentation early can prevent weeks of delay, costly rework and fines.
Before any tree removal Sydney project starts, check that your contractor holds public liability, professional indemnity, workers’ compensation and equipment insurance, plus a risk management plan. Confirm your council’s requirements before any tree is touched.
