Our tree policy
Our tree policy says that we’ll do our very best to preserve trees when we can, but sometimes this is out of our control. This means that if a tree dies or gets damaged, and it poses an unacceptable risk to the public that we can’t manage or mitigate in any other way, we may decide to remove the tree.
If the tree is not dead or diseased, isn’t a declared pest species, it doesn’t pose a risk to the public, and it’s over five metres tall, our tree maintenance team needs to get permission from Council before they remove the tree. Regulated or significant trees may also need permission from Council before they’re removed.
