Fast, Council-Compliant Tree Reports for Pruning & Removal
Our local Level 5 Arborists prepare tree reports for pruning and removal required for Ku-ring-gai Council approval, servicing the Ku-ring-gai Council area, including East Killara, East Lindfield, St Ives Chase and surrounding suburbs.
Where pruning exceeds Council limits, a Council-compliant arborist report is required. We provide clear, evidence-based tree reports detailing tree health, structure, canopy percentage, risk assessment and photographic evidence, giving Council the information needed to assess applications efficiently.
Council-Compliant Documentation
All documentation is prepared in accordance with:
- Ku-ring-gai Council Tree & Vegetation DCP – Part 13
- AS 4373 – Pruning of Amenity Trees
- AS 4970 – Protection of Trees on Development Sites (where applicable)
This ensures pruning and removal applications proceed without unnecessary delays or requests for further information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Council approval to prune a tree in Ku-ring-gai?
Most pruning works require Council approval unless considered exempt. Only minor deadwood removal, small branches under size thresholds or exempt species may be pruned without approval. We confirm this during inspection.
How fast can I get my pruning permit report?
Reports are delivered within the required timeframe, with fast-track options available for urgent pruning needs. Documentation is formatted for quick upload to Ku-ring-gai Council’s online system.
Why must pruning follow AS 4373?
AS 4373 protects tree health and prevents long-term structural defects. Improper cuts can cause decay and weak attachments. Our reports specify correct AS 4373 pruning methods.
Which trees are exempt from pruning approval?
Some species and minor pruning works may be exempt. We identify exempt trees and provide written confirmation, or prepare a full Level 5 report where approval is required.
