Trees are a crucial part of the natural environment and ecosystem around us. They also provide many benefits to homes, businesses, and properties. However, in some instances, a defective tree can become hazardous. Tree owners have to engage in regular inspection and maintenance of their trees. Luckily, there is a solution for tree risk management in Australia, primarily within the Melbourne area.

Tree Asset Management System

Arborcraft has developed a system known as the Tree Asset Management System that can help everyone easily understand and manage the health of their trees. While there is no guarantee that all risks are eliminated, as trees are living organisms, they utilize Internationally accredited systems to assess the risk in trees. These systems include TRAQ and QTRA, minimizing any guesswork and providing an objective and systems-based assessment of risk to trees.

Why engage in the Tree Asset Management System?

When developing the Arborcraft Tree Asset Management System, the company focuses on larger treescapes. Owners and managers of these larger treescapes need to have a greater understanding of the condition and risks associated with their assets. Within the system, each asset is cataloged and information is provided regarding the health of each tree and other detailed arboricultural datasets.

The owners and managers of the significant treescapes have a duty of care to everyone who interacts with their site. They have to take all reasonable steps to make sure their trees remain healthy and hazards are managed.

TAMS gives owners access to details on lowering the residual risk of all assets under assessment. These details come from arborists, who play a crucial role in ensuring TAMS is successful. The program will help tree owners significantly increase their knowledge about the risk potential associated with trees.

Who are arborists?

An arborist or an arboriculturist are professionals in the practice of arboriculture, the cultivation, management, and the study of individual trees, vines, shrubs, and other woody plants.

These professionals are extremely proficient and understand the advanced diagnostic techniques for tree risk management. They gather and synthesize all information that is necessary to assess tree risk. After determining the risk, based on their professional judgment, they will provide recommendations to mitigate the risks.

What's the assessment procedure?

The assessment procedure differs for each individual tree, but the arborists typically follow a standardized evaluation procedure to support the process. These inspections begin with assessing the crown, branches, and roots of the tree to check for potential failure signs.

These indicators include:

  • Broken branches

  • Thinning or poor canopy health

  • Unstable branching patterns

  • Cracks in the main trunk

  • Exposed or decaying roots


Tree risk management in Australia is an essential field of study. It's growing continuously as an increasing number of tree owners become aware of different risks related to their assets. Take advantage of TAMS to manage and monitor the health condition of your trees. Contact us on 99135195 to see how we can help you manage risk associated with your trees today.
