Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Establish performance metrics and analyse resources
   • Research models of urban forest management
   • Establish the key performance metrics and outcomes to be assessed incorporating specific parameters from the client brief
   • Determine the data sets to be collected required for objectives of managing the resources and needs of stakeholders
   • Analyse urban forest resources
   • Determine agents and conditions affecting urban forest health
   • Analyse species spatially in target geographic areas using geographical information systems (GIS) as required
   • Determine canopy density targets
2. Determine urban forest asset value
   • Determine outcomes in social, environmental, public health, economic, and aesthetic terms
   • Determine asset value of single tree and forest based on value criteria of client and relevant benchmarks
   • Perform cost-benefit analysis of forest assets
   • Analyse variation in asset value within relevant variables
3. Review policy documentation
   • Analyse and review relevant policy documents for meeting performance metrics and desired outcomes
   • Determine statutory, liability and risk issues requiring consideration
   • Identify stakeholder requirements and perceptions
   • Evaluate the extent of impact and outcomes of proposed policy documents
   • Create policy determinations on tree assets and record as reports
   • Create and document urban forest management policy
4. Develop and document management plan
   • Develop appropriate conceptual framework for urban forest management
   • Develop street tree master plans as required
   • Set vision and objective statements
   • Determine quantifiable goals
   • Use tree inventory and mapping data management software as required
   • Establish and maintain inventories and databases
   • Develop implementation and operational plans
   • Develop and document an urban forest management plan
