                <p>An arborist report is only as useful as the qualification behind it. Brisbane City Council requires reports for tree removal applications and development assessments to be prepared by a suitably qualified arborist and they check.</p>
                <p>Our lead arborist holds an AQF Level 5 Diploma in Arboriculture. Reports we prepare are accepted by Brisbane City Council, and we provide the documentation format insurers and development assessors expect.</p>

  <h2 class="section-title">Arborist Report Questions</h2>
  
</div><div class="faq-section"><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>What is an arborist report and when do I need one?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>An arborist report is a formal written assessment of a tree's condition, health, and risk profile, prepared by a qualified arborist. You need one for: council permit applications, insurance claims following tree damage, development applications near significant trees, disputes about tree removal, and pre-purchase property inspections.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>What qualification does an arborist need to write a council report?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Brisbane City Council requires reports to be prepared by a suitably qualified arborist typically AQF Level 5 (Diploma in Arboriculture) or higher. Reports from unqualified operators are rejected. Our lead arborist holds AQF Level 5.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>How much does an arborist report cost in Brisbane?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>A standard residential arborist report for a council application costs from $250–$450 for a single tree. Multiple-tree assessments or development application reports cost more. We quote once we understand the scope.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>How long does it take to prepare a report?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Most residential reports are completed within 3–5 business days of the site inspection. Development application reports may take longer depending on complexity.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>Can an arborist report help me remove a protected tree?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>It can. If a protected tree poses a genuine risk to life or structures, a report documenting the hazard can support a permit application. BCC considers hazard ratings, structural defects, and proximity to occupied structures when assessing removal applications.</p></div>
