Finding a Consulting Arborist

Hornsby Shire Council does not provide recommendations for Arboricultural Consultants to advice or reports on trees.

Should you wish to seek advice on your trees, it is advised you contact a Consulting Arborist with appropriate qualifications and demonstrated competence in providing the advice or service you require. Refer to the Institute of Australian Consulting Arboriculturists (IACA) website to find a consulting arborist.

The consulting arborist can inspect your trees and provide advice on their health and condition. A consulting arborist can undertake a ground-based visual inspection of the tree and/or use diagnostic testing to provide you with a written report detailing management options.

To ensure the Arboricultural report is accepted by Council and considered as part of your Tree Application, the report must be written in accordance with Councils Guidelines for Preparing an Arborist Report.

It is advised you provide a copy of the Arboricultural Report Guideline to your arborist prior to them producing their report.
