Contact UsIf 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.
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.
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.
