What is an Arborist Report
An arborist report is a professional assessment prepared by a qualified consulting arborist that evaluates the health, condition, structural integrity and risk associated with one or more trees on a property. Arborist reports are commonly required by councils, certifiers, developers, architects, strata managers, homeowners and commercial property owners when decisions need to be made regarding tree retention, removal, pruning or development.
A professional arborist report may include a detailed tree inspection, species identification, measurements, assessment of health and structural condition, identification of defects, photographs, tree protection recommendations, Australian Standard references and practical management recommendations.
Why Choose a Qualified Consulting Arborist?
At NSW Tree Works, every report is prepared by an AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborist and tailored to the specific requirements of the project. Whether the report is required for a Development Application (DA), complying development, council application, insurance claim or tree risk assessment, our reports provide clear, evidence-based recommendations that help clients make informed decisions while meeting local council requirements.
When Do You Need an Arborist Report?
An arborist report may be required by your local council, certifier, insurance company or property manager before certain works can proceed. A qualified arborist assesses the health, condition and structural integrity of trees, providing recommendations based on Australian Standards and council requirements.
You may need an arborist report if you are:
- Applying for a Development Application (DA)
- Lodging a Complying Development Certificate (CDC)
- Building a new home or extension
- Installing a swimming pool
- Constructing retaining walls or driveways
- Seeking approval for tree removal or tree pruning
- Purchasing a property with significant trees
- Managing trees on strata or commercial properties
- Investigating tree-related damage or insurance claims
- Assessing hazardous or storm-damaged trees
Having the correct arborist report prepared early can prevent costly delays, assist with council approvals and provide peace of mind that your project complies with local regulations.
