Project Arborist

AQF Level 5 Project Arborist in Victoria

At Arbor Express, we take pride in being the designated project arborist for all arborist reports we prepare. We understand that the approval process for new developments often includes a condition necessitating the presence of a site arborist or project arborist during specific stages of the project. This arborist plays a crucial role in overseeing all activities within the Tree Protection Zones (TPZs) for trees required to be retained.

Our AQF Level 5 project arborist services encompass the following:

  • On-site supervision of critical excavation activities within tree protection zones
  • On-call consultation through phone or email to address any questions or issues that may arise during construction phases
  • Comprehensive documentation of project milestones or as per the conditions outlined in the notice of determination of development application (DA)

Upon completion of the development, we provide the following essential services:

  • Preparation of a comprehensive report detailing all construction activities carried out within the TPZs
  • Documentation of the tree protection measures implemented throughout the project
  • Issuance of a final certification, confirming compliance with AS-4970-2009 (Protection of Trees on Development Sites) or the specific DA conditions, if they differ

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.
