Visible basis and limits
Method: how the checklist is organised
What it does: the checklist orders 16 preparation checks into four groups: immediate safety and ACT status, tree evidence and intended outcome, access and material movement, then written scope and provider proof. It does not calculate a price, diagnose a tree, determine protected status or verify an unnamed provider.
Formula and benchmark: no score, formula, market rate or hidden benchmark is used. Each item remains visible because omitting it can change the lawful route, inspection need, work method, quote inclusion or final site condition.
Sources: ownership and protected-tree prompts follow current City Services private-tree guidance and public-tree guidance. Electrical prompts follow WorkSafe ACT electrical guidance.
Assumptions: the list assumes one Canberra property enquiry and no confirmed provider, inspection, approval, equipment plan or quote. The responsible authority and actual operator still confirm the facts within their control.
