Professional Tree Protection Plans in Sydney
Expert arboricultural services by AQF Level 5 qualified consulting arborists
Retaining trees during construction requires proper planning and protection. Our tree protection plans provide detailed specifications for protecting retained trees throughout construction, addressing council conditions and the current AS 4970:2025 tree-protection standard where relevant.
We define Tree Protection Zones (TPZ), Structural Root Zones (SRZ), protection fencing requirements, ground protection methods, access controls, and ongoing monitoring protocols. The plan makes site expectations clear before works begin.
Project arborist support is folded into this service where needed. That can include pre-construction inspections, contractor inductions, supervision of sensitive works, regular monitoring, and post-construction assessment.

Direct Answer
What does a tree protection plan do?
A tree protection plan explains how retained trees will be protected during construction, including TPZ and SRZ controls, fencing, access, ground protection, method statements, monitoring, and project arborist support where required.
Construction Protection Decision Guide
Protection planning is strongest when it matches the approved drawings, consent conditions, and site programme.
Consent conditions require tree protection
Tree protection plan
Send the consent, approved plans, staging, and tree-related hold points.
Works occur inside a TPZ
Method statement and monitoring
Confirm supervision triggers, access controls, and project arborist attendance.
Design impacts are not yet assessed
Tree impact assessment
Review the proposed works against retained, neighbouring, and council trees.
Tree Protection Plans for Building Near Retained Trees
Use this service when construction must protect retained trees and satisfy council, certifier, or consent-condition requirements.
Protection situations we support
Works inside or near TPZs
Prepare controls for excavation, access, temporary work platforms, services, paving, demolition, or storage near retained trees.
Consent conditions and hold points
Translate arborist conditions into practical site requirements, inspection stages, contractor responsibilities, and reporting steps.
Construction monitoring
Fold project arborist support into the protection plan through inductions, supervision, site inspections, and completion advice.
Useful details for an accurate quote
Approved or proposed plans
Send architectural, engineering, demolition, landscape, and services plans so protection measures match real site works.
Council consent conditions
Forward tree-related DA conditions, RFI text, or certifier requirements that specify project arborist involvement.
Construction programme
Indicative staging, start date, access needs, and likely works within TPZs help scope monitoring and supervision.
What the final plan usually covers
TPZ and SRZ controls
Protection zones, fencing locations, ground protection, signage, and exclusion requirements are documented for the site team.
Method statements
Where works cannot avoid protection zones, the plan outlines practical arboricultural controls and supervision requirements.
Monitoring and certification pathway
The plan identifies inspection stages and project arborist support needed before, during, and after construction.
Start with an impact assessment
If the development impact has not been assessed yet, a tree impact assessment may need to come first.
Review construction guidance
Read the AS 4970:2025 and TPZ guide for a deeper explanation of protection requirements.
Request construction monitoring support
Send the consent conditions and plans so we can confirm the protection-plan and project-arborist scope.
