An Arborist Report for Development, also known as an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA), evaluates how proposed construction may affect existing trees on or near a development site.
Most planning permit applications involving trees require a tree report prepared by a Level 5 consulting arborist. These reports assist councils in determining whether trees can be retained, protected or removed as part of the planning approval process.
Tree Protection Zones and Structural Root Zones identify the area surrounding a tree that must be protected during construction.
