Arborist Impact Assessment (AIA)
An Arborist Impact Assessment, in accordance with AS 4970-2009, is a systematic evaluation of the potential effects that a development or construction project may have on trees within the project site or its vicinity. Austreelia Tree Consulting follows these guidelines provided by the Australian Standard 4970-2009 and LGA regulations in the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW regions.
The arboricultural impact assessment involves identifying and mapping existing trees, assessing their significance, and evaluating the potential risks associated with construction activities, such as root damage, compaction, changes in drainage, or physical damage. Based on the assessment findings and the recommendations of AS 4970-2009, Austreelia Tree Consulting can provide guidance on appropriate tree protection measures, including fencing, root zone protection, pruning guidelines, or tree relocation. Adhering to AS 4970-2009 ensures that trees are managed responsibly during construction, promoting their long-term health and survival while accommodating development needs.
