Tue 18th May: What you don’t know about trees could mean development disaster!

Dear propert investor,

Tree protection has become an increasingly important issue for property developers in recent years. Established trees on a property can impact plans for building an extension or redeveloping the site, but this impact is often poorly understood.

Many home-owners and developers have seen their projects thrown into disarray, discovering only after they’ve bought a property that their plans can’t work around the existing trees on site, or trees they thought they could remove actually have to be retained.

It’s critically important today to understand requirements for tree protection and management, as Councils can fine you thousands of dollars – or even take you to court – if you do the wrong thing!

We’re excited to have Ben Kenyon from Homewood Consulting join us for this Property Meeting, to explain:

– How to identify trees on a property that could impact an extension or development of the site.
– When can you or can’t remove trees from your property.
– Common tree-related issues when dealing with Council.
– What is a “tree protection zone” and why understanding this essential if you plan to build or extend.
– Ways of designing around established trees and incorporating trees into a design (in particular when they need to be retained)
– The role of an arborist in site assessment and planning applications.
– When and why you need to involve an arborist in your property projects.
