Consultation for Councils in Townsville
Tree management for the people who own a lot of trees
We deliver projects for councils and government departments, carry $20 million in public liability cover, and help commercial owners take the headache out of tree maintenance.

Set up for public sector work
We carry all necessary licences and hold public liability cover to $20 million, which is the level required to deliver projects for councils and government departments. Our tree reports and assessments are backed by professional indemnity insurance to $1 million.
Daniel sits on national industry safety committees and has been involved in writing industry standards, so the way we document and deliver work lines up with what procurement and asset teams need to see.
What we take on
- Street tree and park tree assessments, including risk ratings
- Programmed pruning and maintenance cycles across a portfolio
- Tree condition reporting for schools, childcare and public open space
- Species selection and planting advice for streetscapes, parks and new estates
- Tree protection during construction, including protection zones and monitoring
- Post event assessment and clean up after storms and cyclones
- Advice on trees near powerlines and infrastructure
Annual programs for larger owners
We can assist with annual tree programs for larger commercial property owners and developers. We can be involved from the start of a project, then take the headache out of regular maintenance with programmed visits through the year.
The value of a program is not the discount. It is that trees get looked at on a cycle instead of after an incident, deadwood comes out before the wet rather than after it, and you have a documented record of inspection and action if something ever does go wrong.
One contractor, start to finish
We can assess, provide the advice, write the report and complete the work. For a lot of clients that is the point: one arborist who inspected the tree, wrote the recommendation and stands behind the outcome, rather than a consultant, a contractor and a gap in between where the accountability goes missing.

Questions
Asked and answered
If yours is not here, ring us. We would rather talk it through than have you guessing at it.
What insurance do you carry for government work?
Public liability to $20 million and professional indemnity to $1 million on reports and assessments. Certificates of currency are available on request.
Can you handle a whole tree portfolio?
Yes. We can assess a portfolio, set a maintenance cycle, and deliver the programmed work. We can also work alongside an existing asset management system rather than replacing it.
Do you do tree protection during construction?
Yes. Protection zones, fencing specifications, monitoring during works and post construction condition reporting.
Do you work outside Townsville?
Yes. We cover Bowen to Townsville to Mission Beach, and further for programmed or consultancy work. Ask and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit for the location.
