Golf Course Management Plans
Tree Management to Reduce Risk and Prioritise Budgets
To manage a tree asset, you must first understand what that asset is. Utilising GPS and GIS mapping, we are able to develop a Management Plan to meet the course’s needs. The plan can be customised from a full asset data capture that documents all arboricultural assets on the course to a risk assessment review that assesses all trees but only records trees that require risk or remedial works.
Summary of Benefits
The management package allows course managers to understand the risks that trees pose and program budgets to manage risks and removal work. This removes the ad-hoc delivery of service resulting in increased cost efficiencies.
The plan provides a single point of truth for the tree assets that can be utilised to document total assets and amenity value they provide to the course. The system allows course managers to review historical data on trees with ease.
The system is designed to meet the needs of the course managers through smart, cost-effective and auditable functions.
