Ok i have formulas for 4 different methods.
  1. The Helliwell System
  2. Melbourne City Council
  3. The Burnley Method
  4. Aust Std - Draft

Generally, they all start with a base value. This comes from timber (not that relevent IMO) or advanced tree prices.

Then a range of modifiers are applied eg. species, location, volume, form, vigour, ULE,

The results vary wildly. I'll reproduce an example i made.

Cuppressus Eucalyptus Brachychiton Poplar

Helliwell $167,500 $50,000 $270,000 $255,000

MCC $38,236 $14,000 $3,145 $10,096

Burnley $3,350 $9,335 $2,650 $6,125

Aus Std $13,650 $6,813 $60,843 $15,000


Wheres Boa with a PDF! Tommorow i might be able to scan the formulas
