Partnering with Local Government: How Arbor Centre Supports Parks and Public Spaces 

139

In Perth, the outdoors is part of our lifestyle. Whether it’s summer days at the beach, spring picnics in the park, or winter walks through open spaces, our city is defined by its green places. Yet as urban density increases, the preservation of parks and public areas has never been more important. 

At Arbor Centre, we work alongside local councils and government bodies to protect, enhance, and future-proof these valuable community spaces. Our Consultancy services provide the specialist guidance, planning, and on-ground expertise needed to ensure trees and landscapes remain powerful and positive assets for generations to come. 

1. Long-Term Planning: Preservation, Protection and Prevention 

Mature and significant trees bring character, shade, and ecological value, but they also require the right attention. We’ve supported councils across the Perth metro area with careful planning and professional strategies to preserve these living assets within parks and open spaces. 

Our consultancy and project delivery align with Australian Standard AS: 4970, giving local governments confidence that trees are protected from the earliest planning stages through to construction and beyond. This forward-thinking approach prevents costly disputes, delays, and roadblocks that often arise when tree retention isn’t properly addressed. 

We’re also continuing to receive strong demand for our Fortress5 Root Barrier protection, a product and service exclusive to Arbor Centre. This innovation has become a vital tool for local government parks and infrastructure teams, helping to manage tree root systems while preserving both tree health and surrounding infrastructure. 

2. Supporting Councils to Manage Urban Tree Populations 

From small reserves to expansive public spaces, managing trees across multiple sites can be challenging without the right expertise. Arbor Centre brings decades of operational knowledge and arboricultural best practice to help councils care for existing, significant, and veteran trees. 

By combining technical expertise with practical delivery, we help ensure trees in public spaces not only survive but thrive, reducing long-term risks, enhancing urban canopy, and supporting the wider community’s enjoyment of these areas. 

3. Specialist Knowledge for Public Spaces 

Public areas bring unique challenges. Heritage sensitivities, significant trees, play areas, and high-profile landscapes all require careful management. Added to this are the legal responsibilities that come with maintaining safe and accessible spaces for the community. 

Our Consultancy services offer tailored support for these complex environments. We understand the regulations that apply to public places and balance them with a commitment to the long-term health and sustainability of the trees themselves.
