Fast, Council-Compliant Level 5 Arborist Reports for DA, CDC & Tree Removal
Our local AQF Level 5 Arborists prepare tree removal reports for Council permits, DA and CDC arborist reports, and Council-compliant tree documentation across the Ku-ring-gai Council area, including East Killara, East Lindfield and St Ives Chase.
If you’ve been advised by Council that a tree removal report is required before a permit can be issued, we assess the tree, confirm the correct approval pathway and prepare the Level 5 Arborist Report required for tree removal or pruning approvals.
Council-Compliant Documentation
All Level 5 Arborist Reports are prepared to meet the following requirements:
- Ku-ring-gai Council Tree & Vegetation DCP – Part 13
- DA and CDC lodgement standards
- Council requirements for tree removal and pruning permits
- Documentation accepted by Ku-ring-gai Council and private certifiers
This ensures applications are assessed efficiently without unnecessary delays or requests for additional information.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Level 5 Arborist Report include?
A full health, safety and impact assessment supported by photographs. Reports include species identification, tree condition, risk level, TPZ/SRZ measurements, development impacts, pruning or removal justification and recommendations, all formatted to Ku-ring-gai Council standards.
Are your reports accepted by Ku-ring-gai Council?
Yes. All reports meet AS 4970, AS 4373 and Ku-ring-gai Council DCP requirements. We prepare clear, accurate and compliant documentation, including mapping, impact analysis and recommendations accepted by Council and private certifiers.
How fast can you complete an arborist report?
Fast-track and urgent options are available. Reports are delivered on time and formatted for upload to the NSW Planning Portal or Ku-ring-gai eDA system, helping ensure smooth approvals for DA and CDC applications.
Can you confirm whether a tree is exempt from needing a permit?
Yes. We identify the species and confirm exemptions. If the tree is exempt or dead, we provide written confirmation for Council or insurance purposes. If not exempt, we prepare the Level 5 report required for removal or pruning approval.
