Arborist Training Needs Survey

The Local Jobs Program is working with Shoalhaven City Council to identify the number of Aboriculture staff working with employers who already have a Certificate III qualification, or who may be interested in upgrading their qualifications to Certificate III Aboriculture to meet the new Council requirements.
This information will enable us to then work with registered training organisations to provide opportunities for upgrading qualifications and to identify any funding support needed for the training.
Please complete the Arborist Training Needs Online Survey by Sunday 8 October 2023.
The exemption will be renamed to ‘The Gordon Timbs 45 Degree Rule,’ and it will include a reference to native tree species list that could be used for replanting (non-mandatory).
The amendment is now in effect and our website has been updated to reflect the changes. To learn more about the Rule visit the Trees on Private Land page on our website.
