Arborist Reports in 2025: Ensuring Tree Safety and Managing Risk

As we step into 2025, the importance of regular tree assessments cannot be overstated, especially with incidents like the recent branch failure near Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance that resulted in serious injuries. This unfortunate event serves as a stark reminder that every tree carries inherent risks. While trees are vital to our urban environment, providing shade, beauty, and improved air quality, they can also pose hazards if not properly maintained.

At Auditree, we understand that exposure to tree risk is inevitable, but it can be monitored and mitigated. Our team of highly qualified consulting arborists is here to help ensure that your trees are not just an asset but also safe for everyone around them.

Risk Assessment: Our Methods

To accurately assess tree risk, we employ two widely recognised methods: Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) and Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ).

• Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA): This method quantifies the level of risk posed by trees in a way that balances the benefits of trees against the risk they pose. By using QTRA, we can provide objective, evidence-based recommendations on whether tree management actions are necessary.

• Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ): TRAQ is a systematic method of evaluating tree risk by inspecting tree structure, health, and the surrounding environment. It focuses on the likelihood of tree failure and the potential impact on people or property, helping us prioritise actions based on the level of risk identified.

These methods allow us to deliver precise, actionable insights tailored to your specific situation, ensuring that you can make informed decisions about your trees.
