An arboricultural expert witness is a highly qualified arborist engaged to provide independent, professional opinions in legal or tribunal settings where tree-related issues are in dispute. This may include matters relating to tree failures, development impacts, boundary trees, vegetation clearing, and compliance with planning regulations. Expert witnesses must be impartial and capable of presenting complex arboricultural evidence in a clear and credible manner.
Engaging an experienced expert witness can help save time, reduce legal risk, and strengthen your case. At ArbCert, we provide:
Objective opinions supported by detailed inspections, analysis, and documentation that hold up under cross-examination.
We translate technical arboricultural evidence into clear language, making it easier for lawyers, clients, and decision-makers to understand.
From preliminary opinions to formal expert reports and court testimony, ArbCert delivers the right level of support for matters in the NSW Land and Environment Court, NCAT, or local government proceedings.

We provide impartial advice in line with the obligations of expert witnesses under the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules.
