What is an arboricultural impact assessment?

An arboricultural impact assessment is a thorough and systematic report, prepared by an arborist, that determines the possible effects of construction activities on trees.

Why it matters for development

Understanding impacts early helps you plan the design around valuable trees, meet planning requirements and avoid costly issues once works start.

Linked to project arborist services

Where trees are retained, the assessment can be followed by project arborist services to supervise and certify tree protection during construction.

AS 4970-2009

Arboricultural Impact Assessments FAQs

Can't see your question? Call 0431 686 705.

When is an arboricultural impact assessment needed?

Typically when a development or construction project is proposed near trees, especially where those trees are protected or council has requested information about tree impacts.

What does the assessment look at?

The trees on and around the site and the possible effects of construction activities on them, with recommendations for retention and protection.

Should I get one before I finalise my design?

Ideally, yes. Early advice gives you the chance to adjust the design to retain valuable trees and reduce risk to the project.

Can you also supervise tree protection during construction?

Yes. We provide project arborist services to inspect, supervise, monitor and certify tree protection measures.

Is the report suitable for Toowoomba Regional Council?

Our reports can be modified to suit the requirements of your council or planning authority.

How long does it take?

Timing depends on the size of the site and the number of trees. We confirm this in your quote.
