Councils ask for a written arborist report when a tree needs a permit, is protected, or poses a risk to nearby property. Trees Down Under prepares these reports through Level 5 arborists, in a format councils expect.
Each written arborist report sets out the tree’s condition, the risks it creates and the recommended actions, whether that is pruning, monitoring or tree removal. The detail is there so a council officer can see why a particular course of action is proposed.
The same team that inspects the tree writes the report, so the advice matches what was seen on site. Glenhaven-based specialists also know how local council regulations apply, which helps keep an application on track.
Rules vary by tree species, size and location, so confirm current requirements before any work begins. For Glenhaven, start with The Hills Shire Council’s tree and vegetation guidance and, if your tree is in the Hornsby Shire, Hornsby Shire Council. Trees Down Under offers council permit guidance alongside the report, so the paperwork and the work that follows stay connected.
