The data is captured through the works as executed handover process or field audits and maintained in an asset database.

Use Cases

• Map public tree distribution based on location description and suburb attributes
• Analyze species composition based on botanical name, genus, and native/exotic classification
• Assess maintenance requirements based on features like tree guards, root barriers, and watering coils
• Track asset lifecycle based on consolidation date and handover date

Strengths

• Attributes include botanical name, genus, species, and native/exotic classification for biological analysis
• Includes maintenance and infrastructure features like tree grates, guards, root barriers, and watering coils
• Data is captured through a formal works as executed handover process or field audits

Limitations
