A Kellyville subdivision can stall until Hills Shire Council sees a proper arborist report. Trees Down Under’s AQF-certified arborists prepare council-ready reports for subdivision and development work. Book a free tree inspection and request a same-day quote.
An arborist report is a written assessment of the trees on your site, prepared by a qualified arborist. When a subdivision application is lodged with Hills Shire Council, the report tells assessors which trees are worth keeping, which can go, and how the rest will be protected during works.
Trees Down Under prepares these reports in line with Hills Shire Council tree permit application requirements, so the document answers what the council needs to see.
Trees on a Kellyville block affect where boundaries, driveways and building envelopes can sit. A tree protection zone (TPZ) around a retained tree can take up more of a lot than owners expect.
Finding this out after the plans are drawn means redesign, resubmission and extra holding costs. Finding it out first lets the layout work around the trees from the start.
We work with every local council in Sydney. Permits don’t have to be a headache, but the tree report has to be right the first time.
Joseph Khoury, Director & Founder, Trees Down Under
A clear report reduces the chance of council coming back with questions that stall the development application (DA). Approval timing still depends on council, so no report can promise a set date.
What a sound report does is remove avoidable delays, so tree retention and removal decisions are settled before they become a problem for your timeline or budget.
Each tree on the site is identified by species and size, then assessed for health and structural condition. Dead branches, lean after storms and signs of decay are recorded, along with roots lifting near structures and branches close to power lines.
The report maps the TPZ for every tree worth keeping. It then shows how proposed lot boundaries, roads and building envelopes affect those zones, so the design can be adjusted before the DA goes in.
Every recommendation is written to suit Hills Shire Council requirements.
Certified experience. The team is made up of AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists, with 20+ years of experience behind the work since 2005. Trees Down Under is fully licensed, insured and Cm3 certified.
Local trust. Based in the Hills District, the business holds a 4.8/5 rating from 182+ Google reviews.
Complete service. Permit guidance and full site clean-up are part of the job, so owners and developers are not left to sort out the details alone.
Book an arborist at the start of planning, before plans are drawn or lodged. Early advice shapes lot layouts around the trees worth keeping and flags the ones that need attention first.
Common signs that a block needs a closer look include dead branches, a tree leaning after a storm, roots lifting paving or footings, branches close to power lines, and overgrown canopies. Any of these can affect how a block is divided and how safely it can be worked on.
The process is simple. Trees Down Under starts with a free tree inspection and same-day quoting for non-urgent requests. An arborist then assesses the site, prepares a council-ready report for your DA, and hands it over for lodgement with Hills Shire Council.
If council raises queries, the team follows up. Where removal is approved, the same crew can carry out the work and complete the site clean-up. Council permit requirements are confirmed before any tree removal goes ahead.
Request a fast quote and book a free tree inspection. Non-urgent requests are booked within regular hours. If a tree becomes dangerous, emergency removal is available 24/7.
Once a subdivision is underway, the trees on site often need more than a report. Trees Down Under handles the work that follows, from tree removal and crane-assisted removal to tree stump removal, tree pruning, crown thinning and routine maintenance.
Storm-damaged or dangerous trees are covered by the 24/7 emergency tree service.
