DA Support & Tree Reports
Arboricultural impact assessments, preliminary assessments and tree removal/retention plans for Development Applications.
About DA Support & Tree Reports
Submitting a development application to council often requires a professional arborist report from an AQF Level 5 qualified arborist. Mike prepares comprehensive DA tree reports including arboricultural impact assessments, preliminary arboricultural assessments, and tree removal/retention plans that satisfy council requirements.
Each report is prepared to the relevant Australian Standards (AS 4970 - Protection of Trees on Development Sites) and tailored to the specific requirements of your local council. Mike uses AutoCAD to produce detailed, accurate site plans when development plans are available in this format.
Getting a report prepared before or during the design phase of your project can help you avoid costly redesigns and DA rejections. Mike can advise on tree protection measures, setback requirements and how to design around high-value trees - helping your application move forward with confidence.
