FAQs

  • Are ARC11 services suitable for council and utility projects?

    Yes. ARC11 works with councils, utilities, and government asset managers where terrain, access, or exposure risks require a defensible approach to contractor selection.

    For high-risk or sensitive sites, ARC11 supports assessment of whether remote-controlled operation is an appropriate control measure.

    More information is available on our Councils & Utilities page.

  • When is remote-controlled operation the appropriate control?

    Remote-controlled operation is typically considered where steep slopes, unstable ground, post-burn conditions, or constrained access make conventional manned machinery difficult to justify from a WHS or compliance perspective.

    Not all sites require this approach. Site conditions and risk exposure are reviewed before a method is confirmed.

  • What types of terrain can ARC11 operate on?

    ARC11’s equipment is designed to operate on steep slopes (up to 60°), embankments, batters, drains, wet or unstable ground, post-burn areas, and environmentally sensitive sites where traditional machinery presents elevated risk.

  • Do you provide forestry mulching and vegetation clearing?

    Yes. ARC11 provides forestry mulching, scrub clearing, and fuel-load reduction for high-risk, fire-prone, or access-constrained sites.

    Methods are selected to minimise ground disturbance and support erosion control where required.

  • Are you a replacement for conventional vegetation contractors?

    No. ARC11 is not positioned as a general replacement for conventional contractors.

    ARC11 is engaged where hazard elimination or substitution is required due to terrain, access, or exposure risks that cannot be adequately controlled using traditional plant.

  • Are you insured and compliant for government work?

    Yes. ARC11 is fully insured and GST registered, operating in line with council and contractor compliance requirements.

    Public liability insurance certificates and compliance documentation are available on request.

  • What areas do you service?

    ARC11 operates across the Perth Metro, Great Southern, and South West regions of Western Australia, including surrounding rural areas.

    Projects outside these regions may be considered by arrangement.

  • How do we get started on a high-risk site?

    For sites involving steep terrain, unstable ground, or elevated safety or environmental risk, submit site details via the Discuss a High-Risk Site form.

    This allows ARC11 to assess whether remote-controlled operation is an appropriate control before any scope or pricing is discussed.

  • Do you provide reports or documentation to support internal approvals?

    Yes. Where required, ARC11 can provide site-specific documentation outlining the selected work method, terrain considerations, and risk controls applied.

    This documentation is intended to support internal review, contractor justification, and audit or compliance requirements where decisions may be scrutinised.
