Covering Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Bundanoon and every Wingecarribee Shire town and village.
Wingecarribee Shire combines the historic commercial centre of Bowral with growing communities around Mittagong and Moss Vale, bushland-fringed properties in the Northern Highlands, and heritage-rich rural villages to the south.
Mature trees, established gardens and significant native vegetation mean Arborist Reports are commonly required for Development Applications, tree removal and construction near retained trees.

Bowral is the commercial and historic centre of the Southern Highlands, where heritage homes, established gardens and ongoing redevelopment regularly require Arborist Reports for Development Applications, tree removal and construction near retained trees.
These growing communities combine established homes, new housing estates and commercial development, creating regular demand for Arborist Reports for Development Applications and tree protection during construction.
Established residential areas, rural properties and lifestyle acreages with mature trees frequently require Arborist Reports for Development Applications, tree removal and construction projects.
Bushland-fringed communities and larger residential properties often require Arborist Reports before development, tree removal or construction near retained trees.
These rural villages contain heritage properties, native vegetation and large residential lots where Arborist Reports are commonly required for development and tree management.
Wingecarribee Shire Council may require a Tree Permit, Development Application (DA) or Arborist Report where proposed tree work or development affects protected trees or vegetation.
Understanding these requirements early helps determine whether your project needs a Tree Permit, Arborist Report or Arboricultural Impact Assessment before work begins.
A permit may not be required for dead or dying trees not needed as fauna habitat, minor pruning within Council's limits, or vegetation Council has otherwise exempted. We can confirm exemption status before you proceed.
In most cases, yes. A tree is generally protected if it is more than 6 metres high, has a trunk circumference of at least 500 mm measured 1 metre above ground, or a canopy spread of 4 metres or more.
Generally, no. Trees protected by an approved Development Consent cannot usually be removed through a standard tree permit process and may instead require a modification to the consent. We can advise on the correct pathway for your site.
Fast-track reporting is available for urgent and hazardous tree assessments, subject to availability.
Yes. We prepare DA Arborist Reports at design stage, Tree Protection Plans post-approval and Project Arborist inspections throughout construction for residential and commercial projects across Wingecarribee Shire.
Many Complying Development Certificate (CDC) projects affecting trees still require an arboricultural assessment demonstrating compliance with AS 4970 and the relevant planning controls.
