From a single tree to large-scale tree populations, ArbCert develops Tree Management Plans that outline practical, site-specific actions to protect, maintain, and enhance your landscape over time.

What Is A Tree Management Plan?

A Tree Management Plan is a strategic document prepared by qualified arborists that provides scheduled, implementable actions for the care and management of trees on a site. These plans are often required for:

  • Development approvals and council submissions
  • Long-term risk mitigation and site safety
  • Tree health improvement and regeneration
  • Protection of high-value or significant trees

Each plan is customised to your goals and site conditions and may include recommendations for protection, pruning, removal, monitoring, or long-term health improvements.

Why Tree Management Plans Are Important

Tree Risk Management

Identify hazardous trees early and reduce the risk of property damage, injury, or liability.

Tree Health & Regeneration

Restore stressed or declining trees with proactive care, including soil remediation and targeted health strategies.

Tree Protection for Development

Ensure compliance with AS 4970-2025 and demonstrate a clear strategy to retain and protect valuable trees during construction.

Clear, Actionable Planning

Receive a structured plan that provides step-by-step guidance for contractors, property managers, or councils to implement effectively.

Who Needs A Tree Management Plan?

If you own a site or property with trees on it, you may need a tree management plan. Sometimes they are requested by councils or local governments. Tree management plans can help you manage the safety, health and protection of the trees on your site.

Why Is Tree Management Important?

Depending on the purpose of your tree management plan, it may be required under your duty of care (liability). For example, if an accident relating to a tree hazard were to take place you may be held liable if you did not take the necessary steps, such as implement a tree management plan, to mitigate the risk.

What Happens If I Don't Comply With A Tree Management Plan?

It depends on the purpose of your tree management plan. If it is requested by your council as part of a development proposal or application, then your development may not proceed. If it is necessary for liability or insurance purposes, then you may be held fully liable if a related accident takes place or your insurance policy may be voided.
