what committees need
How we work with committees
A committee is accountable to owners, usually volunteers, and rarely has time to manage a contractor. So we make the arrangement easy to oversee.
A cost you can budget
A multi-year contract on a monthly schedule, with the scope written down so there are no surprises at the AGM.
Someone accountable
The same crew and crew leader on every visit, and a direct line for the building manager.
A contractor you can defend
Prequalified, insured and documented, so the committee can show owners it chose carefully.

The questions you should ask any contractor
If you are comparing providers, these are the things worth checking. Here is where we stand on each.
- Safety prequalification: Cm3 prequalified, the independent contractor safety assessment required to work on large commercial sites such as Westfield shopping centres.
- Insurance: $20 million public liability and workers’ compensation, with certificates of currency on request.
- Safety systems: a documented WHS system, safe work method statements, regular toolbox talks and incident reporting.
- Site inductions: we complete your site induction and work to your site rules.
- Qualifications: qualified horticulturists on the team, and team members licensed to operate elevated work platforms.
- Who does the work: our own employed crews. Specialist irrigation and arborist work is the only work we may subcontract.
- Ethical sourcing: a published modern slavery statement, although the law does not require one from a business our size.
- Accountability: GPS-tracked vehicles and same-day replies to current clients.
- Track record: 97 per cent client revenue retention. We have maintained Allisee Residential Apartments since 2009 (recently re-awarded) and Marrakesh Resort Apartments since 2013.

What body corporate clients say
Bell Park Body Corporate
“The Bell Park Body Corporate engaged Advance Plants earlier this year to care-for and maintain our gardens. “Stephan” was appointed the gardener in charge of the area and the community couldn’t be happier. His work ethic is second to none and combined with his existing knowledge and willingness to learn the area is looking great! We highly recommend Advance Plants and their team.”
Chris B, Google review
Marrakesh Apartments, Gold Coast
“Advance Plants are 100% committed to supplying labour, materials and services on time, every time. Any task involving garden maintenance and redesign, including pruning, mulching and much more. I would highly recommend Advance Plants.”
Stu McMullan, Manager, Marrakesh Apartments, Google review
Allisee Apartments, Hollywell
“I’d like to congratulate, thank and acknowledge Nathan and David from Advance Plants for the outstanding care, expertise and incredible hard work they put into the gardens at Allisee apartments at Hollywell. They always go above and beyond to ensure the gardens look well manicured, healthy and lush. On top of that they are always positive, well mannered and professional.”

Common questions from committees
Can you take over from our current contractor?
Yes. We agree the scope and monthly schedule with the committee and building manager first, then plan the start date so there is no gap in maintenance.
How is pricing set?
Each site is quoted on its own scope. The price covers an agreed monthly schedule over a multi-year term, so the body corporate can budget for it with confidence. Extra works outside the schedule, such as replanting or storm clean-up, are quoted separately.
Can we see your insurances and safety documentation?
Yes. We hold $20 million public liability and workers’ compensation cover, and provide certificates of currency on request. We are Cm3 prequalified and can supply our WHS documentation for your records.
What happens if a tree comes down after hours?
Call us. We are contactable 24/7 for emergencies and will make the site safe as soon as we can get a crew there.
Do you use subcontractors?
Maintenance is delivered by our own crews. Specialist irrigation and arborist work may be completed by contractors we engage and manage, and we remain responsible for it.
Which areas do you cover?
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, from teams based in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.
