Trees Are Protected By Law

Trees are protected by law

When working next to trees it is critical that the Australian Standard 4970-2009 Protection of Trees on Development Sites is adhered to.

Any damage to Council street trees or regulated/significant trees on private property will result in Council taking relevant enforcement action which may lead to prosecution.

Speak with someone qualified

You should seek advice from a qualified arborist to determine the legal status of the tree/s, and to assess the possible impact your proposed development activities may have on such tree/s.
