Frequently Asked Questions
When should a Project Arborist be involved in a DA or CDC?
Early – ideally during the design stage to identify TPZ and SRZ constraints and avoid redesigns. We map constraints early and confirm whether development impacts meet AS 4970 and Ku-ring-gai Council requirements.
What does a Project Arborist do during construction?
We monitor works near trees and ensure TPZ and SRZ compliance throughout construction. This includes supervising excavation, trenching, root zones and machinery access, with compliance reports issued for Council and certifiers.
Are Project Arborist reports mandatory for DA approval?
Yes. Ku-ring-gai Council requires AS 4970-compliant arborist reports for most developments. Our documentation includes mapping, impact analysis and construction conditions required for DA acceptance.
Can you provide ongoing supervision and final sign-off?
Yes. We provide ongoing monitoring, documentation and certification at each construction stage, including final compliance sign-off for DA or CDC completion.
