What does an arborist report cover?

An arborist report is a written assessment of a tree by a qualified arborist. For Winston Hills properties, Trees Down Under’s Level 5 arborists prepare reports that set out the tree’s condition, the risks it poses and the recommended actions, in the form councils expect.

The report records the species, size and health of the tree, and notes signs of disease, decay, structural weakness or storm damage. It then explains what that means for nearby homes, fences, driveways and people, and recommends whether the tree should be retained, pruned or removed.

Councils ask for a report when a tree is large, protected or close to a structure, because it gives them an independent basis for a decision. In Winston Hills, that usually means:

  • a council permit application to prune or remove a tree
  • a development application where trees sit near the building site
  • a tree dispute with a neighbour or strata body
  • an assessment of a diseased, leaning or storm-damaged tree

If your situation fits one of these, an arborist report is the right starting point.

Which council do you deal with in Winston Hills?

Two councils cover the suburb

Winston Hills (NSW 2153) sits across The Hills Shire Council and the City of Parramatta. The property’s exact location decides which council’s tree rules apply, and permit and arborist report requirements differ between the two.

How to confirm the right council

  • Check the address against the council maps.
  • Use The Hills Shire’s online planning tools or Parramatta’s tree management guides.
  • Phone The Hills Shire on +61 2 9843 0555 or the City of Parramatta on +61 2 9806 5050.

You can also ring Trees Down Under on 0475 463 597 for a quick confirmation of which council applies. Our Level 5 arborists write each report to suit the council involved, so it covers what that council expects.

We work with every local council in Sydney. Permits don’t have to be a headache once you know which council you’re dealing with.

Why trust Trees Down Under with your report?

Winston Hills has leafy streets, family homes and plenty of mature trees, so a report is often needed for practical reasons. A large tree close to a house, a limb damaged in a storm, or a council permit application will usually need written evidence of the tree’s condition.

That evidence is only as useful as the person behind it. Trees Down Under’s AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists have 20+ years of experience across the Hills District, and the business has been operating since 2005 from its base in Dural.

The team is fully licensed, insured and Cm3 certified, which gives councils and owners confidence in the findings. Local customers rate the service 4.8/5 across 182+ verified Google reviews.

From report to permit, removal and clean-up

The report is the first step, and the same team can look after what comes next. Once the arborist report is done, Trees Down Under can guide the council permit application, so the paperwork matches the report’s findings and the rules of the right council.

If the tree needs to come down, the crew can arrange crane-assisted removal where access is tight or the tree sits close to a house. The company runs its own crane fleet, so there are no extra fees for it.

Green waste is taken away and full site clean-up is included. Quotes are clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, so the price discussed is the price on the job.

Trees can also come down at the worst times. If storm damage leaves a tree unsafe, the 24/7 emergency tree service covers Winston Hills and the wider Hills District.
