Tree Specialist

Peter Gray - Arborist

Whether you’re working in local government, property development or you require an expert witness in a legal dispute, I will provide the professional solution you need.

I am a director of the Board of Arboriculture Australia, qualified to AQF level 8, and have been a leading authority in arboriculture since the mid-1990s.

My lifelong interest in trees began at age eight, working in the family stone fruit orchard, and as well as working in the New South Wales Northern Rivers region, I have taught a great number of students at the Wollongbar TAFE.

Every project we undertake is approved, directed and guided by me, meaning that there are few people who can provide the level of professionalism and genuine commitment to quality service in which we specialise.

“ I have had the pleasure of working with Peter Gray on a number of small and complex projects within multiple Councils.

Peter has a unique combination of practical knowledge and techniques along with an academic history, together these provide excellent outcomes in all environments. I highly recommend using Peter Gray on your next project.”

Jarrod Gillies

Town Planner

It’s always a pleasure when you a find a consultant you can trust in terms of accuracy of advice, reasonableness of fees, efficiency and timeliness of delivery, and availability for contact. It doesn’t happen very often. I have found Peter’s consulting advice to be of a high standard across all of these categories. Peter is always looking for a solution to issues on the projects he has worked on for us. This has enabled us to proceed with designs that work for the project, while retaining as many trees as possible
