Tree surveys & technical reports

The species, locations, dimensions and observable condition of trees in parks, gardens, cemeteries or along roadsides on a registered plot are recorded. Inventory information is incorporated into the plot plan so that development or site arrangement decisions can take existing trees into account. The tree survey plan and technical report present each tree's location together with the inspection findings.

Where a tree is being considered for relocation, its species, dimensions, visible health, root surroundings and current site conditions are examined; the proposed new location is also assessed. A pre-transplantation report is prepared for those seeking a technical basis for the relocation decision and preparatory work. The report explains the conditions affecting relocation, preparation needs and matters to consider during implementation.

Changes to an existing tree inventory or layout plan are examined together with the condition of trees being considered for relocation. Earlier and revised layout data are compared to assess the project revision's effects on trees and the need for transplantation. The report brings together updated tree information, site conditions relevant to relocation and recommended technical operations.

The species, location, basic dimensions and observable physical condition of trees within the study area are identified in the field. Where existing trees need to be documented for a plot, facility or site arrangement project, the findings are linked to photographs and field records. The technical report clearly shows which trees were examined and their identified characteristics, creating a record for subsequent decisions.

Tree locations are measured on site and linked to species and basic dimension data, making each tree identifiable on the plan. A tree survey plan is prepared for those seeking to incorporate existing trees into layout decisions for construction, landscaping or site arrangement works. The output is a measured plan and inventory showing the spatial relationships between trees and other features on the plot.

Acoustic tomography measurements provide data on the tree trunk's internal structure; these are assessed alongside visible defects, the surroundings and areas that could be affected if the tree falls. A risk analysis provides a technical basis for safety and maintenance decisions. The report explains the measurement findings, assessment limitations and matters to consider for monitoring or intervention.

Information is compiled on the location, species, dimensions, visible characteristics and surroundings of a tree being considered for monumental tree assessment. A record is prepared to identify the tree and document the features under evaluation. It brings together field observations, photographs and measurements to create a technical record specific to the tree.

The species, current condition and distribution of trees and shrubs on land not classified as forest are examined together with the proposed use. The assessment helps establish the relationship between the vegetation present and the requested intervention. Observations and technical opinions are documented in a site-specific inspection and assessment report for use in an application or decision-making process.

The location, current condition and care needs of trees transplanted on a titled plot subject to development are assessed on site. Observed development, potential problems and matters requiring follow-up after relocation are recorded technically. The report documents the transplanted trees' condition at a specific date and provides site-specific recommendations for subsequent care and monitoring.
