Andrew Fox

With over a decade of experience in urban forestry and arboriculture, I founded Fox Arbor Consulting Pty Ltd to provide expert, pragmatic advice on managing trees in urban environments. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in local government and consulting roles, gaining firsthand insight into the challenges of balancing tree management with urban development, infrastructure needs, and community expectations.
I’ve led and implemented major urban forest strategies, tree planting programs, and risk assessments, ensuring that tree management aligns with best practices, regulatory requirements, and long-term sustainability goals. My expertise spans across large-scale tree audits, risk assessments, development impact assessments, and strategic urban forest planning.

At Fox Arbor Consulting, our approach is grounded in practical experience, data-driven decision-making, and a deep understanding of council policies, developer requirements, and community needs. Whether it’s working with local governments, architects, or schools, We ensure that trees are managed effectively, preserving their benefits while addressing risk and compliance challenges.

Beyond my professional work, I’m a firm believer in the long-term value of trees—not just for the present but for future generations. As a father of two young boys, I’m acutely aware of the impact that today’s urban forestry decisions will have on their world. My commitment is to provide practical solutions that maintain safe, green spaces while ensuring that trees continue to enhance our cities for years to come.
