Reports that get results
An arborist report is usually needed to support an application to remove or prune a protected tree, or to show council how trees will be managed on a development site. A good report can be the difference between approval and refusal.
Our consulting arborists hold a minimum AQF Level 5 qualification and understand planning law and council processes across Cairns, Douglas, Tablelands and Cassowary Coast. We take the time to understand what you need, assess the trees properly and write a report that’s clear, defensible and fit for purpose.
We can also advise on the application itself, and liaise with council on your behalf.

Arborist Reports questions
When do I need an arborist report?
Usually when you want to remove or prune a protected tree, when a development may affect trees, or when you need independent evidence for a dispute, insurance claim or property sale.
Who can write an arborist report?
Councils generally require a consulting arborist with at least an AQF Level 5 qualification in arboriculture. Our consultants meet that standard.
How long does a report take?
It depends on the type of report and number of trees. We’ll give you a timeframe and fixed price when you enquire.
Can you deal with council for me?
Yes. We can lodge supporting information and liaise with council on your behalf.
