Arboricultural monitoring guarantees that sites have essential tree protection measures to comply with AS 4970-2009 and each government region. For the public, commercial, and private sectors, our top-tier team of arborists offers arboriculture services following the necessary licences and Australian law. 

What are the advantages of employing professional arborist services? 

What Exactly Is Arboriculture 

Arboriculture is a field that only some people are familiar with. However, it is a highly special and important sector of the economy that contributes to the well-being and preservation of our natural environment. As its name suggests, arborists have the vital task of monitoring the health of trees and determining any risk they might represent to people or property. 

Keeping Habitats Safe 

Various animals and plant species can be found in woodlands. Birds,  Insects, deer, and other animals can find food and refuge in trees and plants. By ensuring that trees are healthy, arborists are also preserving the habitats of species. 

Maintaining The Condition of Trees 

Healthy trees are necessary for a healthy forest or woodland. Both the environment and even our health rely heavily on trees. Many trees are prized for their medicinal and healing qualities and serve as filters for dust and other pollutants. Alder trees are a good illustration of this because their bark includes salicin, which has anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing properties. 

Unwavering Community 

Having a green area nearby means you have somewhere to go if you want to relax, read a book, walk, or get out of the house. In addition, a beautiful park or forest signifies a proud community. People take great pride in their communities, and arborists ensure that their parks are beautiful. 

Our Project Arborist Supervision consists of the following individuals with in-depth knowledge and multidisciplinary experience:

• Evaluating the importance and value of the tree(s) on the property
• Elaborate root analysis exploratory measurements
• Meeting beforehand and certification
• Certificates and ground protection
• Guidance for Tree Protection Zones (TPZ)
• Regular evaluation of tree health while building
• Regular examinations
• Cooperating with the appropriate agents and sanctioning authorities
• Final approval of completed projects 

For our clients in the public and private sectors, Treescience also provides soil and plant health care. In addition, we may put speculation to rest and gain a deeper understanding of a tree’s structure and location by using leading-edge techniques from the industry, including Air knife, Microscopic Analysis, and Wood/Soil DNA Sequencing.

An understanding of the functions and benefits of urban forests will lead to management strategies that enhance human health, environmental quality and local economies. 

The social benefits of urban forests are equally as important. People and animals alike benefit from the physical, mental, emotional and psychological advantages that trees bring to an urban environment. To maximise the value of the urban  forest in your commercial, residential or municipal development project, be sure to hop online and search for “a level 5 arborist near me.”

Here in Australia, we are enriched with a culturally, historically and environmentally diverse ecosystem. As our infrastructure expands, urban forests must be managed and enhanced to benefit communities and ecosystems.

The Functional Benefits Of The Urban Forest

Air Pollution Management: The urban forest improves air quality by lowering air temperature, removing pollutants from the air, and balancing carbon dioxide emissions with increased oxygen production.

Combating Climate Change And Rising Temperatures: Urban forests and tree cover are vital in helping cities address climate change, lowering temperatures through evapotranspiration and providing shade. They absorb greenhouse gases, minimising the effects of excessive heat and climate change on human health.

Improving Energy Efficiency In Cities: Existing urban forests are predicted to reduce yearly air conditioning energy use by 2.5%, saving $485.8 million in wholesale value. When cities feature more vegetation, the energy demand is cut by 10 %, around $778.5 million in utility bills per year. This reduced energy consumption in buildings also translates to lower carbon emissions in commercial and industrial zones.

Storm Water Management: Urban forests and root networks safeguard coastal communities from catastrophic weather events and rising sea levels by regulating water flows. In many urban areas, surface stormwater runoff may contribute to the contamination of surface water bodies such as streams, marshes, rivers, lakes and seas.

Strategic root management plays a vital role in managing stormwater, as well as reducing the structural soil damage heavy rains can cause.

Strengthening Our Engagement WIth Nature: Urban vegetation, in all settings, whether aesthetic or functional, plays an interactive role in helping communities respond adaptively to climate change through engagement with nature. 

Australia is blessed with a rich heritage; some trees and traditionally owned landscapes hold deep cultural significance to Australia’s indigenous communities. By protecting these sites, we preserve our natural history in a way that enriches our present and future generations.

They also provide a welcome visual and emotional relief from the bustling urban infrastructure. Trees and parks play an essential stress-relieving role in cities. 

Protecting Local Ecosystems: Urban forests provide resilient habitats, naturally occurring food sources and safe routes for migratory plant and animal species.

In this modern era, establishing a strong and sustainable ‘Indigenous economy’ is critical for realising sustainable self-determining indigenous communities, narrowing the gap between traditional knowledge that stretches back for centuries and modern urban development. This is why more indigenous Australians are pursuing economic independence than ever before.

Treescience actively contributes toward environmental protection and the sustainability of our ecosystems and the Australian economy by being a proudly Aboriginal AQF Level 9 Arborist consultancy.

The Importance Of Supporting Indigenous Businesses

Indigenous enterprises in Australia generate at least $A4.9 billion in income each year, not to mention the various significant economic, social and cultural advantages that they bring.

• They provide Indigenous Australians with a more varied range of employment options that allow for skills development and economic upliftment in indigenous communities.
• Improving service delivery in indigenous communities.
• The establishment of community-based structures that encourage Indigenous business development, such as :
  • Global Corporate Network of Australia
  • Supply Nation (Indigenous Chambers of Commerce) 
  • Indigenous Business Australia (Government procurement policy)

Bringing Traditional Value To The Modern Era

Calling on generations of knowledge and tradition, Indigenous businesses offer intangible cultural knowledge and valuable connections regarding the usage of Indigenous-owned and controlled lands. This contributes to economic success for Indigenous Australian communities at a grassroots level. 

In an Arboricultural sense, it brings an essential balance between environmental, economic and legislative entities in Australia, preserving local ecosystems and important culturally significant sites while adhering to all relevant community and legislative requirements.

Creating A Sustainable Future Together

Businesses owned and operated by Indigenous peoples are more likely to employ Indigenous peoples and to do business with Indigenous peoples. For future growth and generational wealth creation, the “multiplier effect” of successful indigenous enterprises empowering indigenous people plays a vital role. By supporting indigenous businesses, we ensure Indigenous business owners will be inspired to build a legacy of social involvement and development within Indigenous communities.

Your level of bush fire risk influences the compliance requirements surrounding your development. The greater the risk, the more protection you must provide. This risk is determined by the bush fire attack level (BAL).

Your level of bush fire risk is influenced by many factors, such as:

• The development location; 
• The gradient of the land; 
• Vegetation type, and
• Distance of vegetation in relation to the development property. 

Before your planned development can proceed, your BAL must be calculated and presented to your local council in a written report called a bushfire risk assessment. To avoid delays in development, it’s advisable to appoint a qualified bushfire consultant to compile your bushfire risk assessment.

Calculating Your Property’s BAL

A BAL rating is calculated under the methodology outlined in the Australian Standard AS 3959–2009. The Standard outlines two distinct methods: the basic procedure (Method 1) and the more detailed procedure (Method 2). 

Method 1:

• Perform a site study of all vegetation within 150 metres of the proposed development site.
• Classify all categories of vegetation in the surrounding area.
• Determine the distance between the classified vegetation types and the planned development.
• Determine the slope gradient affecting specified vegetation zones.
• Consolidate the data to determine the BAL of the proposed or existing development site.

Method 1 is not valid in circumstances where the slope gradient under the identified vegetation is greater than 20 degrees on the downward slope. In that case, Method 2 will be employed. A BAL Report-Method 2 is essentially a thorough evaluation utilising mathematics to provide a more precise BAL rating. 

Method 2:

A BAL Report-Method 2 is a thorough evaluation utilising mathematics to provide a more precise BAL rating. Method 2 evaluations are often used when it is not feasible to mitigate a rating inside the bounds of your own property.

• Determine the applicable Fire Danger Index and wind velocity.
• Analyse the species, classifications, fuel loads, and height of vegetation zones surrounding the development site.
• Determine the slope gradient affecting specified vegetation zones.
• Determine the slope of the ground between the location development site and the vegetation zones.
• Determine the site’s distance from specified vegetation zones.
• Calculate the length of the flame.
• Determine elevation according to elevation receiver readings.
• Calculate radiant heat flux.
• Consolidate the data to determine the BAL of the proposed or existing development site.

No matter which method is employed, Your bushfire risk assessment must outline suitable building requirements according to BAL and submit a Bushfire Management Plan and a BAL Contour Map, if necessary. This is where the valuable experience and in-depth reporting and analysis of qualified bushfire consultants come into play.

Trees in urban areas face various obstacles and stresses. Trees planted between sidewalks and roads or between buildings and roads are often hindered in their ability to obtain the nutrients needed for growth and development. Soil compaction caused by car traffic or heavy foot traffic over a tree’s roots can cause root damage and impair the tree’s capacity to receive nutrients. In some cases, mechanical wounding agents ‒ lawn mowers, vehicles etc. ‒ can visibly scar a tree, interrupting nutrient movement between the roots and the crown.

An AQF level 5 Arborist can consult and advise cost-saving tree fertilising Health Care Program techniques and sustainable management strategies to ensure the health, quality and safety of trees on your development property.

Trees In Urban Forests React Differently To Trees In Their Natural Settings

Nutrient deficiency symptoms are uncommon in trees and shrubs living in their natural settings. This can be attributed to natural nutrient recycling and the fact that plants in the wild often grow only in environments that they are most adapted to or where they have a competitive advantage.

Trees in urban forests have their natural nutrient cycles disrupted by roadworks, maintenance practices or planting schemes. They may also be forced to adapt to soil compositions that do not occur in their natural habitats. 

For these reasons, it is essential to establish cultural practices that sustain or replenish soil organic matter and nutrients. An important aspect of sustainable soil management is periodic fertiliser application, especially in commercial and residential landscape settings.

An effective IPM or Plant Health Care programme is developed around maintaining soil fertility and paying attention to plant nutritional requirements.

The Importance Of Fertiliser

Fertiliser supplies essential nutrients for plants to develop normally and remain healthy. Organic matter and soil are important nutrient suppliers, but in circumstances where the soil composition is imbalanced, fertilisation is beneficial. 

Fertilisers can:

• Stimulate plant growth
• Improve the colour, appearance and health of vegetation in urban forest settings

Soil Fact Sheet

Soil PH Levels: A soil fertility programme for trees and woody plants should begin with a soil pH analysis to test acidity levels. Soil pH is quantified on a scale ranging from 0 to 14. Acidic soils have a pH level of less than 7, whereas alkaline soils measure above 7.

A soil’s pH impacts the availability of nutrient elements as well as microbial activity; therefore, adjusting pH levels is vital for the health of both plants and ecosystems. 

Prior to any planting in nursery soils or on landscaping sites, the pH of the soil should be analysed. Generally, limestone is used to raise the pH, while sulphur is applied to lower it. However, it is advisable to introduce these compounds into the soil before planting since surface treatments are better applied when a  gradual effect on pH levels is required.

Soil Composition: Basic plant nutrition entails the absorption of sixteen mineral elements necessary for plant growth and development. Aside from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which may be obtained from air and water, the three essential compounds required in the greatest abundance for plant growth are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).

• Nitrogen affects the pace of cell proliferation (growth) and hence contributes to the formation of healthy twigs, wood and leaves. Nitrogen also promotes a tree’s chlorophyll synthesis, a deficiency of which results in chlorotic foliage. 

• Phosphorus promotes root development and the availability of stored carbohydrates for growth during the spring seasons. 

• Potassium, or potash, aids in the formation and flow of sugars and starches, as well as strengthening, toughening and maturing a tree’s different parts.

Soil Nutrient Ratios: Research in the nutritional requirements of trees and shrubs plants has shown that nitrogen is the ingredient that produces the most significant growth response. 

• Trees and shrubs that are already established require fertilisers with high levels of nitrogen ‒ N-P-K ratios of 4-1-1, 3-1-1, or 3-1-2 are recommended.

• Fertilisers with  8-2-2, 15-5-5, 24-8-16 ratios and similar compositions are also recommended. The analysis refers to the fertiliser’s percentages of nitrogen phosphorus (as P2O5) and potassium (as K2O) contained.

Phosphorus, potassium and other essential compounds often take longer to deplete in soils than nitrogen. As long as these nutrients are applied at the prescribed rates, fertiliser programs for both existing and introduced trees and shrubs in urban forests often consist entirely of nitrogen treatments. Complete fertilisers should be applied only if soil or leaf tissue tests reveal a severe deficiency.

Sustainable Soil Fertility In Urban Development

When it comes to urban development, the long-term maintenance and management of ecosystems begin at a development level. The responsibility rests with private, commercial and governmental entities to ensure the sustainability of soil fertility on their properties and jurisdictions.

This can be achieved by consulting with an AQF level 5 Arborist consultancy to ensure all the correct steps are taken. This includes: 

• Design: Layouts are centred on plant requirements and site potential.
• Contract: This must be drawn up so that all areas of development will meet the requirements of existing or planned vegetation.
• Site preparation: Strategic site planning ensures suitable soil conditions and can provide cost-effective methods for soil fertility sustainability and nutrient retention.
• Tree supply: In the case of planned landscaping, the plant material supplied must be of the greatest possible morphological, physiological and phytosanitary quality.  Trees must also be assessed to be capable of adapting to and reproducing in new environments.
• Planting Intervention: Ensuring that all necessary interventions are taken before, during and after planting.
• Establishment: Measures put in place to anticipate common urban challenges such as water shortages, weed competition and man-made damage.
• Maintenance: Continued maintenance and integrated plant management programmes must be implemented based on plant types and lifecycle requirements. The belief that once trees are planted, they can exist on their own must be abandoned.
• Monitoring: Native tree species and introduced trees in an urban setting must undergo regular inspection to identify stress and illness before they become a safety concern.

Treescience uses scientific principles for soil and plant health care and maintenance. We pride ourselves on innovation and can apply numerous cost-saving tree fertilising techniques and integrated plant management strategies designed to complement the surrounding ecosystems and build a healthier food soil profile.

Applying industry-leading methods such as Air Knife, Grow-gun, Microscopic Analysis and Wood/Soil DNA Sequencing eliminates speculation, providing a comprehensive understanding of a tree’s structure, underground root positioning and soil microbiology. We also work directly with Australia’s premier soil biology organisations devoted to sustaining urban forests.

These days it seems like everyone is an expert in something. But when it comes to court proceedings, who actually qualifies as the expert witness? TV courtroom dramas portray the expert witness as someone generally brought in to assist juries in grasping complex, technical concepts.

Although not all instances requiring an expert witness are reminiscent of courtroom dramas, the role of an expert witness is precisely that. 

The Arborist As An Expert Witness

Arboriculture is a curious combination of legal expertise and academic qualifications. Practical application can significantly affect the calibre of advice a level 5 Arborist can offer in legal proceedings or when it comes to decoding bureaucratic red tape. 

Whether employed as council employees or at a consulting level, arborists are being engaged as expert witnesses in many courts and tribunals throughout the country.

Arborists may be called as expert witnesses in various matters across many jurisdictions, such as: 

• Arborists are often engaged in planning appeals and vegetation matters on proposed development sites. 
• Arborists as expert witnesses may be engaged in civil cases regarding personal or work-related injuries sustained as a result of tree failures. These actions may be handled in District Court or even the Supreme Court. 
• Similarly, arborists may be summoned to testify in criminal proceedings involving occupational health and safety violations or unlawful damage to native protected vegetation. 
• Arborists may be engaged in proceedings brought under the Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act 2006 in New South Wales. 

Advantages Of Engaging An Expert Witness

Engaging a consulting level Arborist as an expert witness has numerous advantages when it comes to bureaucratic issues surrounding urban forests, native vegetation and environmental planning. An AQF level 5 Arborist keeps the whole picture in mind, speaking on behalf of the trees and native vegetation concerned as well as keeping the progress and safety of proposed developments in mind.

The advantages of engaging a consulting level arborist are numerous. You can rest assured they will:

• Remain centred on their primary field of study.
• Carry out a comprehensive investigation.
• Form logical conclusions that can be sustained in court and supported by evidence.
• Compile reports in a straightforward and logical manner, employing a methodology that will hold up in court.
• Have a thorough understanding of the relevant legal process and their own involvement in it.
• Have a firm grasp of the fundamental legal principles and terminology.
• Base evidence on fact and not only what they think either party may want to hear.

In Conclusion

When it comes to environmental planning, urban development and commercial, residential and government development applications and disputes, engaging an Arborist as an expert witness ensures efficiency, balance and long-term sustainable outcomes for urban development in harmony with urban forestry native vegetation.

Bushfire attack is a hazard that is a relevant consideration throughout New South Wales. Bushfire risk assessment is an essential component when it comes to the preparation or amendment of town planning schemes, strategies and policies, and in the consideration of applications for urban development or subdivision projects.

Relevant Regulations And Standards For Bushfire Risk Assessment

The NSW Rural Fire Service document entitled Planning for Bush Fire Protection (PBP) offers the basis for development in bushfire-prone areas (BPA) or Bushfire Prone Land (BFPL).

Unless the NSW Rural Fire Service has been contacted by the permit authority, any development on bushfire-prone land must comply with the standards of PBP 2019. Section 100B of the Rural Fires Act 1997 mandates that the NSW Rural Fire Service must issue a bushfire safety authority before development takes place. To do this, a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessment must be completed.

Moving beyond NSW borders into the rest of Australia, the Australian Standard AS3959:2018 Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas comes into effect. Under this new standard, each proposed development and construction plan must have a BAL assessment completed by the builder or landowner. This necessitates the submission of a study to determine the risk of bushfires on proposed developments.

Understanding The Reasoning Behind Bushfire Risk Mitigation

These standards and regulations exist to streamline development in bushfire-prone areas, finding functional, sustainable solutions to bushfire risks. If we can explore solutions that implement bushfire safety as a part of property development plans, we do not run the risk of halting progress in the face of adversity.

Bushfires are an ingrained part of Australia’s history; it is a force that needs to be respected regarding its role in forming the landscapes and ecosystems that we call our home. It is a force we need not fear but must learn from and adapt to.

What Does A BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) Assessment Entail?

In accordance with the Australian Standard AS3959:2018, all proposed development applications must include a BAL Assessment. This report determines the risk of bushfire attack in terms of the area’s FDI (Fire Danger Index), the gradient slope of the land and vegetation type. BAL assessments are divided into six levels, indicating the intensity of radiant heat exposure.

Bushfire Attack Levels:

1. BAL-LOW: No threat detected. No amendments to the property required. 
2. BAL-12.5: Increasing levels of ember attack, together with increasing radiant heat exposure expected to affect the property at a rate of 12.5 kW/m2.
3. BAL-19: 19 kW/m2 – Increasing levels of ember attack, together with increasing radiant heat exposure expected to affect the property at a rate of 19.5 kW/m2.
4. BAL-29: 29 kW/m2 – Increasing levels of ember attack, together with increasing radiant heat exposure expected to affect the property at a rate of 29 kW/m. 
5. BAL-40: 40 kW/m2 – Increasing levels of ember attack, together with increasing radiant heat exposure expected to affect the property at a rate of 40 kW/m with increased risk of exposure to direct flames.
6. BAL-FZ: Flame Zone – Radiant heat levels as high as 100 kW/m2 can be expected.

The Australian Standard AS3959:2018 outlines what property amendments and testing procedures are necessary for construction to meet the BAL assessment levels. A certified AQF level 5 Arborist is qualified to provide detailed recommendations for bushfire mitigation for development in open spaces based on the BAL rating of the proposed development site.

A tree inventory is a record of the position and attributes of individual trees within a specific geographic region as well as the features of their surroundings. Typically, municipal tree inventories include street trees and trees in parks and other municipally-owned areas. The first step towards developing a comprehensive and equitable urban forest management program is to conduct a tree inventory.

A Tree Inventory has various applications, from providing strategic planning and assistance with Development Applications to urban forestry planning and management. A simple search for a “level 5 arborist near me” is the first step to obtaining a tree inventory in order to generate comprehensive and accurate reports for sustainable urban forestry solutions.

What Exactly Is A Tree Inventory

Tree inventories consolidate data, including size, condition, species and site characteristics of trees within community urban forests. It provides the relevant information critical for assessing, understanding and implementing solutions for sustainable urban forestry.

Different Private, Commercial, Regional and Municipal Government entities use tree inventory data to maximise urban forestry resources. Furthermore, by monitoring and recording the health of individual trees, one can adequately manage their care requirements and mitigate public health and safety hazards. 

Tree inventories can be classified into three main categories: sample, partial and complete.

Sample Inventory

A sample inventory earmarks a random street segment, block, set of road miles or area as a sample that provides an estimated condition of an urban forest.  The sample size is typically between 3% and 10% of an entire urban forest. Through sample inventories, private entities or community leaders can seek local government support and investment and establish an advocacy network for community trees.

Partial Inventory

A partial inventory refers to the collection of data in which just a subset of the community’s trees are observed to derive conclusions about the whole forest. It can be performed in a specified geographical location; for example, it could be a designated city centre, downtown area or an entire specified municipal district.

It can also refer to a phased inventory, in which data from various regions are gathered at different times, with the purpose of each phase finally completing a full inventory. 

Similarly, a “specific problem inventory” collects data relating to a single problem an urban forest might be facing.

Purposes:

• Establishing the framework for a more complete inventory.
• Justify funding applications for the development of a more comprehensive approach.
• Develop planning procedures for tree risk management.
• Accurately determine the number of potential tree planting locations within a community.

Complete Inventory

A complete inventory includes all data from all trees in an area’s population, including trees and tree stumps in parks and municipal properties, and often includes data from all available planting locations.

Purposes:

• To optimise work scheduling and routine maintenance cycles.
• To ensure optimal storm damage response and management strategies. 
• To develop strategically targeted budgets for spending and future planning.
• To respond to a pest or disease outbreak affecting a specific tree species.
• To allow municipalities to display increased efficiency in responding to constituent requests.
• To quantify the monetary value, investment potential and benefits of an urban forest.
• To develop management and policy recommendations on a governmental or municipal basis.

In Conclusion

Partial and complete inventories are commonly linked with work-order management systems and planning procedures utilised by municipalities and corporations in the cases of new and existing urban developments.

Tree inventories provide green asset managers with the ability, data and insight to proactively manage their operations, target spending and identify potential liabilities as well as potential planting sites.
