ArborCheck
Welcome to ArborCheck, where tree assessments meet practical project delivery. Founded by Steven Sammut, a qualified town planner and AQF Level 5 consulting arborist, we have become the trusted link between developers, planners, architects, and homeowners who need clear, defensible arboricultural advice across New South Wales.
From early site due-diligence through to post-construction monitoring, our team combines detailed tree assessments, GIS mapping, and the latest diagnostic technology to translate complex canopy data into Council-ready documentation. We streamline reporting, reduce risk, and champion project delivery—so your project proceeds smoothly while protecting the trees that require retention.
Above all, we believe healthy trees are essential infrastructure. By pairing technical rigour with a collaborative mindset, ArborCheck helps deliver speed and accuracy to the arboricultural industry.
Things that matter for us
Every assessment we deliver is grounded in four core principles that guide our advice on site and in the office.
*
Legible, Audience-Ready Reports
From concise executive summaries to colour-coded maps, our documents are designed for quick uptake by planners, certifiers and site crews alike—minimising questions and RFIs.
*
Bespoke Tree Protection Plans
Each plan is tailored to the site’s layout, staging and construction methodology—clearly showing TPZs, SRZs, fencing, access routes and service trenches so contractors can build with confidence.
*
Rigorous Standards & Compliance
egislation, DCP controls and Australian Standards (AS 4970-2009, AS 4373-2007) form the backbone of every report. We translate the red-tape into actionable steps—minimising delays while keeping Council's and certifiers satisfied.
*
Alignment with Development Intent
We engage early with architects, engineers and planners, ensuring arboricultural recommendations complement (rather than constrain) the project’s design logic, yields and timelines.
