AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborists working across the Liverpool Local Government Area
We prepare Council-ready arboricultural documentation and carry out the tree work that follows it, so one team takes a project from the first inspection through to completion.
Liverpool Tree Permit Services prepares AQF Level 5 Arborist Reports for homeowners, builders, architects, developers, strata managers and commercial property owners throughout the Liverpool Local Government Area.
We are part of Arbor Express, a consulting and practical arboriculture business with 32+ years of experience in tree assessment, reporting and tree management. Liverpool Tree Permit Services exists so property owners and project teams working under Liverpool City Council's tree controls deal with arborists who work with those requirements regularly.
Liverpool City Council's Tree Policy states that Council will only accept a Tree Report prepared by a Consultant Arborist, defined as a professional holding an AQF Level 5, Diploma of Horticulture (Arboriculture). Every report we issue is prepared to that standard.
Consulting arboriculture and professional tree work, handled together rather than handed between two businesses.
Arborist Reports for Council, tree removal and pruning reports, Development Arborist Reports and Arboricultural Impact Assessments, Tree Protection Plans, tree root investigation and mapping, tree health and safety assessments, and Project Arborist services through construction.
View all servicesOnce an approval or a lawful exemption is established, the same team can carry out the approved tree removal or pruning, including emergency response and make-safe work for fallen, storm-damaged and immediately dangerous trees.
Tree removal and pruningWhere a situation calls for more than a visual inspection, we can bring formal risk methodology and physical investigation to the assessment.
Recognised tree-risk methodologies, used where a formal risk assessment is appropriate to the tree and its target area.
Non-destructive excavation and CAD root mapping where footings, driveways, services or excavation interact with a Tree Protection Zone or Structural Root Zone.
Decay and internal condition testing for trees where structural integrity is the question being asked.
For tree removal and pruning: assess, report, approval, tree work. For development: assess, report, protect, certify.
An AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborist inspects the tree or site and identifies the assessment Council requires.
We prepare the Council-ready documentation, from a single-tree report through to a full Arboricultural Impact Assessment.
We support the Council approval pathway, or prepare Tree Protection Plans and root investigations for retained trees.
Once approved we can undertake the removal or pruning, or act as Project Arborist through construction to certification.
We work across the whole Liverpool Local Government Area, from the established urban centre to the rural lands around the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
