Question 2

How do you manage trees for properties near bushland in Thornleigh?

Accepted Answer

Many Thornleigh properties adjoin or are influenced by the area's substantial bushland reserves, creating specific management requirements. Our approach includes specialised assessment identifying interface challenges and potential hazards; strategic management balancing residential amenity with ecological considerations; specific solutions for fire-prone vegetation enhancing safety while respecting natural character; wildlife habitat preservation incorporating hollow retention and staged removal when appropriate; and selective intervention addressing problematic species while preserving beneficial specimens. We understand the ecological significance of these interfaces, implementing management that preserves valuable wildlife corridors while addressing practical residential concerns.

We bring particular expertise in balancing conservation values with residential requirements, implementing solutions that enhance property enjoyment while respecting broader environmental objectives. For properties with specific concerns related to bushland interfaces, we provide tailored approaches addressing issues like privacy, security, and bushfire risk, with strategic tree management that improves residential outcomes while preserving valuable ecological assets.

Question 3

What council regulations apply to tree work in Thornleigh?

Accepted Answer

Tree management in Thornleigh falls under Hornsby Shire Council's Development Control Plan and tree preservation provisions, with specific requirements applying to most tree work. Protection typically applies to trees over a certain size threshold, generally those exceeding 3 metres in height or with a trunk diameter over 15cm measured at chest height, with certain species exemptions for recognised weeds. Additional protection applies to trees on heritage properties, in conservation areas, or listed as significant in Hornsby's Significant Tree Register. Properties adjoining bushland reserves have additional considerations under various environmental planning instruments, including provisions for buffer zones and wildlife corridors. Our arborists maintain current understanding of these requirements and assist with all aspects of the approval process, including preparing and submitting tree removal applications, providing supporting arborist reports, and attending site inspections when necessary. We ensure all work complies with Australian Standard AS4373-2007 for Pruning Amenity Trees and maintain positive relationships with council tree officers, facilitating smooth approval processes while achieving practical outcomes for Thornleigh property owners. For properties involved in development applications, we provide specialised arboricultural reports addressing tree protection and management in accordance with Australian Standard AS4970-2009 for Protection of Trees on Development Sites.

Question 4

How do you help with bushfire preparation for Thornleigh properties?

Accepted Answer

Bushfire risk management is particularly important for many Thornleigh properties due to the suburb's substantial bushland interfaces and topography. Our comprehensive approach includes strategic creation and maintenance of asset protection zones (APZs) to Rural Fire Service standards, implementing appropriate vegetation management that balances safety with aesthetic and environmental values; strategic management of high-risk species while preserving significant specimens where appropriate; fuel load reduction through carefully planned undergrowth management and ground fuel strategies; selection and placement of fire-resistant species for strategic landscaping; and specific solutions for properties on ridges or backing onto reserves. We coordinate with local bushfire management authorities when beneficial and provide ongoing maintenance programs that sustain defendable space without compromising landscape character. Our approach specifically considers Thornleigh's topography and vegetation patterns, creating property-specific solutions that enhance safety while respecting the area's distinctive leafy character. We understand the particular challenges of managing properties adjoining conservation areas for bushfire safety, implementing approaches that satisfy regulatory requirements while maintaining important ecological values. We also provide comprehensive documentation supporting insurance requirements and can assist with bushfire assessment certifications when required for properties in designated bushfire-prone areas.
