What Is a Tree Protection Management Plan (TPMP)?
A TPMP is a detailed plan ensuring existing trees are safeguarded during construction or landscaping. It outlines installation of protective measures (fencing, signage), regular monitoring, excavation protocols within the TPZ, and site supervision instructions to comply with AS4970‑2025 Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
Why You Need a TPMP
Compliance with council approvals – TPMPs are typically required by Melbourne councils as a condition of planning permits.
Avoid costly tree damage – Protect root zones from soil compaction, machinery, chemical spills, or unauthorized excavation.
Reduce risk liability – Ensures accountability and legal compliance, reducing risk of remediation costs or fines.
Maintain tree health & value – Vital for preserving mature, significant, or heritage trees throughout construction.
Our TPMP Process
Site Assessment – Evaluate tree health, structural aspects, and identify key protection zones (TPZ & SRZ).
Arboricultural Impact Assessment (AIA) Report - Review any potential impacts that retained trees may face from the development and inform design teams on how to reduce those impacts.
Plan Design – Create an easy-to-follow plan with tree protection details, signage, fencing specs, site access paths, and excavation method statements.
Installation & Induction – Advise on correct installation of protection measures and brief workers via toolbox talks.
Ongoing Monitoring – Scheduled site visits to verify compliance, inspect fencing, soil moisture, signage, root protection, and report findings.
Completion Review – Document site compliance and protection measures post-works for council or client records.
