Hi Ekka,
I had no idea that rough tree work was so rife in Qld! I take it that Q Build is Qld public works dept?
In NSW the DPW&S (now dept of Commerce) requires that all works be carried out to the relevant Aus Standard as a minimum and that all relevant industry codes of practice are adhered to in every trade. Most contract organisers and works inspectors are aware of at least the basic necessity to prune to collars etc.
looks like there's a great need for public education up there!
