When trees are present on or near a development site, a Tree Protection Plan (TPP) is a required companion to an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA). Trees with high retention value must be protected in accordance with AS 4970:2025 – Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
At ArbCert, our AQF Level 5 consulting arborists prepare detailed Tree Protection Plans tailored to your project. Each plan provides clear, enforceable measures to protect retained trees through every phase of construction.
Our TPPs include:
A robust Tree Protection Plan improves approval success and helps avoid costly delays, disputes, and compliance issues during development.

A Tree Protection Plan (TPP) is a site-specific report prepared by a qualified consulting arborist to ensure trees are protected during construction. Usually accompanying an Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA), the TPP sets out enforceable measures such as Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) mapping, fencing, ground protection, and construction protocols, all in line with AS 4970:2025 – Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
By clearly showing councils and consent authorities how retained trees will be safeguarded, a TPP improves approval outcomes, reduces the risk of non-compliance, and helps prevent costly tree damage during development.
Stay compliant and safeguard your site’s trees with a clear, professional Tree Protection Plan prepared by qualified arborists.
Ensure your project aligns with AS 4970:2025 – Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
Receive accurate Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) and Structural Root Zone (SRZ) mapping to guide construction layout and prevent damage.
Reduce the risk of tree decline by implementing protection measures that preserve both the aesthetic and ecological value of your trees.
A Tree Protection Plan takes the recommendations of your Arboricultural Impact Assessment and turns them into clear, enforceable measures for the construction phase. At ArbCert, our TPPs are practical documents designed to be understood by builders, contractors, and project managers—not just arborists or council officers.
Our plans set out where fencing goes, what access is allowed, and how works near trees must be managed. This reduces confusion, prevents accidental damage, and keeps your project moving.
Every TPP is specific to the site and development design. We provide maps, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions to make sure protection requirements can be implemented effectively on the ground.
Prepared by AQF Level 5 arborists, all ArbCert Tree Protection Plans are aligned with AS 4970:2025 – Protection of Trees on Development Sites. This ensures councils and regulators have confidence in your approach while giving you certainty on site.
