Preliminary Consultation
A preliminary consultation in arboriculture involves an initial site visit and discussion to assess tree-related concerns. It provides general advice, identifies potential issues, and outlines the scope of work or further assessments needed. After this consultation, the client can decide whether to proceed with tailored services to meet their specific needs.
Health and Condition Report
A Health and Condition Report evaluates a tree's vitality, structural integrity, and overall health, identifying signs of disease, pests, structural defects, or other factors affecting its stability or longevity. These reports help determine appropriate management practices, such as pruning, pest control, or remediation, and provide a clear understanding of a tree's current state.
Circumstances when someone might require a Health and Condition Report:
-
Homeowners: To assess the health of significant trees on their property or address concerns about deadwood, pest infestations, or declining vitality.
-
Real Estate Transactions: To evaluate the condition of trees before buying or selling a property, ensuring no hidden liabilities.
-
Insurance Claims: To document the condition of a tree after storm damage or other incidents for claims processing.
-
Safety Concerns: To investigate trees near high-traffic areas, structures, or powerlines that may pose a risk due to poor condition or structural instability.
-
Council or Legal Requirements: To fulfill obligations for tree preservation or justify removal applications based on health assessments.
-
Long-term Management Plans: To inform proactive care strategies for heritage, mature, or valuable trees.
Arboriculture Impact Assessment Report (AIAR)
An Arboricultural Impact Assessment Report (AIAR) evaluates the potential effects of proposed development or construction projects on nearby trees. It identifies which trees are suitable for retention, those that may need removal, and how the development might impact tree health, stability, and root zones. The report includes recommendations for tree protection measures, compliance with local planning regulations, and strategies to minimize adverse effects on retained trees.
​
Circumstances when someone might require an AIAR:
-
Development Applications: When submitting plans to councils or planning authorities, particularly for projects near trees covered by preservation orders or significant regulations.
-
Construction Projects: For building works near existing trees to ensure compliance with tree protection measures and avoid penalties for unintentional damage.
-
Property Subdivisions: To determine how tree retention and removal impact the subdivision layout or approval process.
-
Environmental or Heritage Concerns: When working on properties with heritage-listed or environmentally significant trees that require preservation during development.
-
Legal or Compliance Issues: To resolve disputes or demonstrate adherence to legal obligations for tree protection in construction zones.
-
Pre-construction Planning: To guide architects, developers, and contractors on tree-related considerations, ensuring sustainable and efficient project execution.
Tree Risk Assessment Report
Tree Risk Assessments identify hazards associated with trees, such as structural instability, decay, pest infestations, or the likelihood of falling limbs. The assessment evaluates the probability of failure, the potential impact, and the target area affected. Arborists provide recommendations to mitigate risks, such as pruning, bracing, monitoring, or removal where necessary, aiming to ensure safety while preserving the tree’s value where possible.
​
Circumstances when someone might require a Tree Risk Assessment:
-
Public Safety and High-Use Areas: To assess trees in high-traffic locations, such as schools, hospitals, parks, or recreational facilities, where safety is critical.
-
Managed Properties: For strata, large complexes, retirement villages, or shopping centers to minimize liability and maintain a safe environment for residents or visitors.
-
Post-Storm or Severe Weather Events: To evaluate trees for structural damage following extreme weather conditions.
-
Proximity to High-Value Assets: For trees located near homes, powerlines, buildings, or other valuable property where failure could result in significant damage or injury.
-
Health and Maintenance Concerns: When trees show signs of poor health (e.g., dieback, fungal growth, or decay) or as part of routine risk management for properties with mature or aging tree populations.
-
Insurance or Liability Requirements: To address potential hazards that could lead to claims or disputes.
-
Development or Construction Projects: To ensure retained trees are safe and stable after excavation or site alterations.
Tree Risk Assessments are a proactive measure to safeguard people, property, and the environment while ensuring responsible tree management.
