Confirmed work
What the engagements involved
Six projects, from a single report through to engagements that ran for the length of a build. Every line links to the page explaining that piece of work in full.
No addresses, results or client details appear here. Approval outcomes and site addresses belong to the clients who commissioned the work, and publishing them is not something an independent consultant should do without being asked to.
A build on a vegetated inner-Brisbane site that also involved realigning a sewer, so the works ran through ground occupied by tree roots and continued over months rather than a single stage.
Confirmed scope- Tree protection measuresThe physical protection specified around retained trees — fencing, ground protection, and what is not allowed inside the line.
- BCC coordinationWorking with Brisbane City Council through the vegetation side of the project rather than leaving the builder to interpret it.
- Sewer realignment managementServices work is where retained trees are most often lost — routing and sequencing it around root zones is project arborist work.
- Vac-ex / root investigation supervisionExcavating with compressed air or water instead of a machine bucket, so roots are exposed and mapped rather than cut blind.
- Monthly inspectionsRecurring checks against the protection zone through the life of the build, not a single sign-off at the start.
- PHCPlant healthcare — treatment to keep retained trees in condition through the disturbance of construction.
- Construction supervisionAttending while the work happens, so what was specified on the plan is what actually occurs on the ground.
A Brisbane subdivision involving council street trees, which are protected under the Natural Assets Local Law and cannot be worked near without a permit issued against it.
Confirmed scope- Assessment of three council street treesEach tree inspected on site and its condition, structure and constraints recorded — the basis everything downstream is built on.
- NALL permit applicationThe Brisbane City Council pathway for works affecting protected vegetation, supported by the arboricultural documentation the council asks for.
- SupervisionAttending while works happen near retained trees, so the protection measures on the plan are the ones actually in place.
- TPZ inspectionsChecks against the tree protection zone through construction — fencing, ground protection and what is happening inside the zone.
- Completion certificationThe final inspection and the certificate a council or certifier asks for at the end of the works.
A development site carrying Brisbane-protected vegetation, involving both construction inside a tree protection zone and trees identified as incompatible with the works.
Confirmed scope- BCC protected vegetationVegetation the council has an interest in, which cannot be worked near or removed without a permit issued against the Natural Assets Local Law.
- Tree report relating to private trees to allow constructionThe arboricultural documentation an application needs before a build can proceed on a vegetated site.
- BCC permit application for construction within TPZWhere a build has to enter the protection zone, that incursion is applied for and justified rather than simply carried out.
- Permit for removal of non-compatible treesWhere a tree cannot be retained, removal is its own application, supported by the assessment behind it.
A construction project on a Brisbane site where both private trees and council street trees were in play — two different protection pathways on the one job.
Confirmed scope- BCC protected vegetationThe classifications Brisbane City Council applies to vegetation it has an interest in, each carrying its own pathway.
- Tree report relating to private and street treesOne assessment covering trees in two different ownerships, because the works affected both.
- Report prepared to allow construction to be undertakenThe documentation that lets a build proceed on a site with protected vegetation on it.
An inner-Brisbane development on a site carrying a Significant Landscape Tree — one of the classifications the council applies to vegetation it has an interest in, and among the most tightly held.
Bank retention works on a site with established vegetation, where the question was what the engineering would do to the trees above and around it.
The photographs alongside each entry illustrate the kind of work described. They are not photographs of these sites.
