Tree Condition Assessment Report

When do you need one?

Obtaining a local law permit or planning permit is often necessary for tree removal or carrying out work around trees.

Why you might need a Tree Condition Report:

Permit Application Assistance
Whether you plan to remove a tree or conduct work near it, our Tree Condition Reports help support your permit application by providing detailed information about the tree’s health and condition.
Planning Permit Requirement
Most new development projects require planning permits, and a tree condition report is often needed to document existing trees on the subject site and neighbouring properties.
Tree Care Recommendations
If you are interested in preserving and caring for existing trees on your property, our tree condition reports include recommendations tailored to your specific tree care needs.

In our Tree Condition Report, we provide essential details about your tree/s, including:

Basic Tree Data
Through on-site visual assessments and measurements, we identify the tree species, determine the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ), assess the Structural Root Zone (SRZ), and measure the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH).
Assessment of Tree Structure, Health, and Landscape Value
Our assessment includes an in-depth review of tree structure, health, and landscape value, grounded in a practical assessment framework supported by scientific study.
Information about applicable legislation related to the subject trees
We provide relevant zoning and overlay information under the planning scheme, including the Significant Landscape Overlay (SLO), Heritage Overlay (HO), etc. We include details regarding local laws if relevant to the assessment.
Recommendations
Our recommendations, informed by contemporary arboricultural practices and relevant policies, aim to address assessment findings. These suggestions prioritise the health, safety, and longevity trees while aligning with relevant policy frameworks.
