As Consulting Arborists, dsb Landscape Architects can evaluate and assess and report on existing trees, provide reliable advice on retention and removal options and provide the documents in preparation for the approvals process. When the approvals process becomes protracted, we can intervene professionally to achieve a timely outcome.
Vegetation Assessments & Advice
Where trees and development clash, it is often a lack of understanding of the system / administration or a limit on the information available.
Pre-development advice, with dsb Landscape Architects, entails an inspection and advice on tree impacts on development potential prior to commitment to purchase.
Urban Forest ACT effective January 1 2024 brings a new perspective to retention, protection and enhancement of the Canberra Urban Forest. Buildings Design and Development now has a new and very administrative environment to negotiate and we are able to engage constructively with the design Team to guide the process.
Development in proximity to retained trees requires a Tree Management Plan (TMP) to demonstrate and direct ongoing viability of the tree in conjunction with innovative construction techniques to mitigate the impact. We work with your project team to achieve the optimal outcome.
Our 40 years plus experience in arborist services and Tree Approvals, and our previous experience in Administrative Tribunals and Courts, ably demonstrates our capability in providing arborist expert witness advice and court appearance services.
