Every Arborist Reports Job Covers

01

Planning permit reports

Tree assessments and protection plans that support a development application or planning permit, prepared to the standard your council expects to see.

02

Pre-purchase tree assessments

An independent inspection of the trees on a property before you commit, with any health concerns, risks, or future costs set out plainly so there are no surprises after settlement.

03

Insurance claim reports

Documentation for storm damage, fallen limbs, or property damage, written with the findings and photographs your insurer needs to assess a claim.

04

Tree removal permit support

Reports that back an application to remove a protected or significant tree, explaining the condition and the reasons for removal in terms a council can act on.

05

Hazard and risk assessments

Independent risk reports for landlords, body corporates, schools, and property managers who need a written record of a tree's condition and any action required.

06

We've now had Luke & his crew do some work for us twice. Highly recommend Luke & his crew, they're awesome at what they do, clean up after themselves, every one of them is polite, knowledgeable, and just really nice guys.

Valerie Stone

So impressed with Luke and his team. The tree removal was handled efficiently and right on schedule. They were professional, well organised, and clearly knew what they were doing. Highly recommend their services.

Kate Donehue

Had Luke and his team remove 2 very large trees and grind some previously trimmed trunks. Couldn't believe how professional these guys are. Arrived on site and on time with the latest high-tech equipment. Couldn't overstate my recommendation.

Pricing

What Does an Arborist Report Cost in Shepparton?

Report pricing depends on the scope and the format the report needs to take, so we set out a clear quote once we understand what you are dealing with. We assess the site in person rather than guessing a figure over the phone.

  • The type of report required, whether planning, insurance, dispute, or pre-purchase
  • The number of trees being assessed
  • Site access and how complex the property is to inspect
  • Whether tree protection measurements and plans are needed for council
  • How urgently you need the report delivered
  • Whether follow-up support or expert evidence may be required later

We don’t quote ballpark prices over the phone. An on-site visit lets us give you a fair, accurate number and walk you through how the work will be done.

Frequently Asked

Arborist Reports Questions

It depends on the scope. A straightforward single-tree report sits at the lower end, while a full planning report covering several trees and protection measurements costs more. Tell us what the report is for and we will give you a clear quote before any work begins.

Often, yes. Greater Shepparton City Council can require an arborist report to support a planning permit or an application to remove a protected tree, particularly with the large established trees common around Shepparton. Let us know which application you are lodging at the brief stage and we will format the report to suit. Call 0457 202 026 if you are unsure what the council needs.

Planning permit reports, tree protection plans, pre-purchase assessments, insurance claim reports, hazard and risk assessments, and reports supporting tree removal applications or neighbour disputes. If you are not sure which one fits your situation, describe what you need and we will point you in the right direction.

Yes. Insurance reports include clear findings, supporting photographs, and practical recommendations so your insurer can assess the claim. Share your insurer's requirements at the brief stage and we will make sure the report meets their format.

Most reports are delivered within five to ten business days of the site inspection, depending on how complex the assessment is. If you are working to a deadline, tell us early and we can usually turn an urgent report around faster.

Yes. Reports are written by a qualified, fully insured arborist with the credentials councils expect for permit submissions. If Greater Shepparton City Council has set specific requirements, we can confirm the relevant credentials at the brief.

Yes. The mature river red gums around Shepparton are often protected and need careful assessment, especially where building or pruning is planned nearby. We inspect the tree on site, document its condition, and set out what can and cannot be done.

Yes. Because we work in the field every day with our own crews and equipment, any pruning or removal a report recommends can be handled by the same team. There is no need to find a separate contractor once the report is done.
