In compliance with Australian Standard AS 4970-2009, “Protection of Trees on Development Sites”, Arbor Express ensures that a qualified project arborist is assigned to oversee all activities within Tree Protection Zones (TPZs) during development projects.
Our AQF Level 5 certified arborists are responsible for supervising construction activities that may impact retained trees, ensuring adherence to established TPZs, and implementing necessary protective measures to maintain tree health and structural integrity throughout the construction process.
This final certification holds significant importance as it serves as a prerequisite for the developer or property owner to obtain the occupancy certificate for the newly constructed development.
The amount of compliance documentation needed can vary depending on the size and details of the development. However, it consistently includes meeting specified tree protection conditions before a construction certificate is issued and construction activities commence. After construction, official confirmation of compliance with these protection conditions is crucial for obtaining the occupancy certificate.
At Arbor Express, we are committed to providing comprehensive compliance certification services for both the construction certificate and the occupancy certificate. We also ensure that all necessary Tree Protection Plans, as stipulated in the DA conditions, are meticulously prepared and adhered to throughout the development process.
