Frequently Asked Questions
When should an arborist be engaged during the design process?
Engage a Level 5 Arborist early in the design stage to identify TPZ/SRZ constraints and avoid costly redesigns or DA delays.
Early involvement prevents conflicts between TPZ/SRZ zones and proposed works. We overlay mapping directly onto architectural plans.
What documentation do you provide for DA or CDC lodgements?
We provide AS 4970 development reports, TPZ/SRZ plans, impact assessments and Council-ready documents for DA and CDC lodgements.
Reports include mapping, photos and protection measures formatted for the NSW Planning Portal and Hornsby eDA system.
Are your reports accepted by Hornsby Council and private certifiers?
Yes, our Level 5 Arborist Reports meet AS 4970 and Hornsby Council requirements.
All documentation aligns with Hornsby Council Tree Preservation Controls.
Can you provide ongoing construction supervision?
Yes, we offer project arborist supervision, audits and certification for DA and CDC construction stages.
