Retention and protection of trees
- The City's position is to retain and protect street and park trees wherever possible.
- A tree will be considered for removal only if it is:
- dead
- dying
- diseased
- causing damage to private property
- causing damage to public infrastructure.
- A tree will not be removed due to:
- views
- leaf, nut drop and bark
- species
- solar panels and antennas
- pools and gardens and
- shading of gardens.
Crossover construction
- Tree removal requests associated with crossover constructions are handled through the Planning process
- Crossovers should remain at least three metres from a street tree to enable healthy root and branch growth
- Costs:
- will be applied if a tree requires removal
- will be paid by the applicant for tree removal, including amenity value, removal costs, replacement and establishment and maintenance costs.
- When building, a Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) must be installed around the tree and confirm to Australian Standards
- Signs and materials are not to be nailed or attached to trees
- Where there is no existing tree on a verge adjacent to any new construction, the City will arrange for one to be planted upon completion of construction.
Please note: Tree removal will be considered during the Planning approval process and the application must include a request for tree removal (if required).
