GIS & Spatial Analysis
A geographic information system (GIS) is a conceptualized framework that provides the ability to capture and analyse spatial and geographic data. GIS applications (or GIS apps) are computer-based tools that allow the user to create interactive queries (user-created searches), store and edit spatial and non-spatial data, analyse spatial information output, and visually share the results of these operations by presenting them as maps. Tree Survey are experts in GIS, and we use this method for almost all of our projects. Examples of how we apply GIS include but are not limited to:
- Identifying tree locations spatially.
- Generating tree protection zones (TPZ) and structural roots zones (SRZ).
- Overlaying surveys, site plans, proposed roads, utilities, and buildings on tree plans.
- Digitising and analysing development impacts (construction footprints and disturbance footprints).

Tree Protection Plan (TPP)
A tree protection plan (TPP) generally follows the arboricultural impact assessment (AIA). The tree protection plan provides details on tree protection mitigations for trees that are proposed to be retained (as determined by the arboricultural impact assessment).
Services
Tree Risk Assessment (TRA)
A tree risk assessment (TRA) is a detailed analysis of the risk posed by a single tree or group of trees within a specific site. Tree risk assessments are often carried out at schools, universities, holiday resorts, parks, and other public spaces where trees have the potential to cause harm to the persons who occupy that space.
Services
Preliminary Tree Assessments (PTA)
A preliminary tree assessment (PTA) is a comprehensive survey or assessment of trees within a designated site or parcel of land. These reports are often used in the earliest stages of development planning, prior to the development application (DA) or detailed design.
Services
Tree Surveys
A tree survey (TS) is a comprehensive assessment of a specified tree population. A tree survey is typically undertaken with the aim of providing base data on the existing tree population to assist in the management and future planning around those trees.

Project Arborist Services
The project arborist is responsible for carrying out the inspections, supervision, monitoring, and certification of trees during a development project. Details of the project arborist are often required to be submitted to the consent authority prior to construction.
Services
Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA)
An arboricultural impact assessment (AIA) is a detailed and comprehensive report that reflects the potential impacts of development on trees within and adjacent to a proposed development site.
Services
Tree Database
A tree database or register is a means to store, retrieve, display, sort, and summarise data (information) that relate to tree assets. This can be an important and useful tool to assist and the planning, management, and maintenance of large tree populations. Our expertise in geographic information systems (GIS) allows us to create, manage and maintain large data sets with extreme precision and attention to detail.
Services
Tree Management Plan (TMP)
A tree management plan (TMP) is a comprehensive survey or assessment of trees within a designated site or parcel of land. These reports are often used to guide the future use, management, and maintenance of a site. The tree management plan provides base data and information, including the existing health and condition of the trees and any risks that the trees may pose.
