Please make sure you have all the information you need before you start filling in the form.
Pre-application checklist
- Check the prescribed maintenance on the tree. You can find this information at the end of your tree's STEM report, available at notable trees
- Digital copies of any additional resource consents you're seeking that are relevant to the proposal
- High-resolution digital copies of at least three photographs of the tree
- Two quotes for the maintenance work (see bullet list below)
The quotes must be from arborists on Council's preferred contractors list, and include the following information:
- the name and qualifications of the arborist who will carry out the work
- a description of the work to be undertaken by the arborist, detailing the extent of the work. For example, 1m crown reduction, deadwood removal, etc
- a simple diagram illustrating the work to be undertaken
- itemised costs for each part of the work, particularly when you're applying for consent to carry out work on multiple trees
You will need to refer to the Heritage Funding Guidelines to complete your proposal. The Guidelines outline what to include in your proposal, and how the proposals will be assessed.
