Our Mission

Maintaining Australia’s urban forests with arboricultural expertise

Our Story

Grounded in a passion for trees, landscapes, and the connection between the built and natural environment

Canopy Consulting was established to assist clients in making informed decisions that support both sustainable growth and the long-term health of trees.

We apply a methodical, pragmatic lens to urban canopy management, with experience spanning arboriculture, tree risk assessment, and urban development.

Today, the consultancy combines hands-on field knowledge with modern arboricultural practices, advanced assessments, and clear technical advice.

We support:

Local councils managing public tree assets
Developers navigating tree protection requirements
Government agencies overseeing green infrastructure
Property owners seeking expert tree advice

By understanding the complexity and value of urban trees, Canopy Consulting helps shape greener, safer, and more resilient communities.
