Arborist Reports
Arborist Reports Across the Northern Beaches
What you can expect when you work with us
Arborist reports across the Northern Beaches — from Manly and Dee Why to Frenchs Forest and Mona Vale — are essential for development applications, tree removal permits, insurance claims, and property assessments. Our reports start from $350 for a single tree assessment and are prepared by AQF Level 5 qualified arborists, the highest consulting arborist qualification in Australia.
Our consulting arborists hold a Diploma of Arboriculture (AQF Level 5) and are registered members of Arboriculture Australia. With 30 years' experience since 1995 and $20 million public liability insurance, we have an extensive track record of reports accepted by Northern Beaches Council for DA submissions, tree removal permits, and planning proposals. Every report complies with Australian Standards AS 4373 and AS 4970 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites).
Whether you're renovating in Brookvale, subdividing in Warriewood, or removing a protected Angophora costata in Seaforth, our arborists understand the local species, council policies, and site conditions that affect your application. Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days from the site inspection, with express service available in 2–3 days for urgent deadlines.

Arborist Reports Capabilities
Specialist arborist reports techniques and equipment for every situation
DA Arborist Reports
Comprehensive reports for development application submissions to Northern Beaches Council. We assess all trees affected by the proposed works, provide impact analysis, and recommend tree protection measures — supporting DA approvals for renovations and developments across Dee Why, Frenchs Forest, and Mona Vale.
Tree Risk Assessment (TRAQ)
Quantified risk analysis using the internationally recognised Tree Risk Assessment Qualification methodology. We evaluate the likelihood and consequences of tree failure to provide a clear risk rating — essential for duty-of-care assessments on properties in Manly, Seaforth, and Brookvale.
Pre-Purchase Tree Reports
Detailed property assessments for prospective buyers, identifying potential tree-related liabilities before settlement. We evaluate tree health, structural integrity, root zone impact, and future maintenance costs — giving buyers in Narrabeen, Newport, and Avalon Beach confidence before committing.
Insurance & Dispute Reports
Professional documentation for insurance claims and neighbour disputes involving trees. Our reports provide clear evidence of damage, causation, and recommended remediation — backed by $20 million insurance and accepted by insurers and courts across the Northern Beaches.
Our Process
What to Expect — Arborist Reports
Our arborist reports are thorough, professionally prepared documents accepted by Northern Beaches Council and other authorities. Here's how the process works from enquiry to delivery.
1
Consultation
We discuss your requirements — whether it's a DA report, tree removal permit, insurance claim, or property assessment — and provide a quote and timeframe. Our AQF Level 5 arborists can advise on the best report type for your situation.
2
On-Site Inspection
Our qualified arborist visits your property to assess each tree in detail. This includes species identification, trunk diameter measurement, height estimation, canopy spread, health evaluation, structural assessment, and site conditions.
3
Report Preparation
The arborist prepares a detailed written report to Australian Standards, including species identification, measurements, health assessment, structural evaluation, risk rating, and clear recommendations. Reports include annotated photographs and site plans.
4
Review & Delivery
The completed report is reviewed for accuracy and delivered as a professional PDF document, ready for council submission. We're available to answer follow-up questions and can attend council meetings or provide expert witness testimony if required.
