Council Regulations for Tree Removal and Trimming
In New South Wales, tree removal and trimming are generally regulated by local councils under Tree Preservation Orders or Development Control Plans. Most councils require approval before removing or significantly pruning a tree, especially if it is native, mature, or provides important environmental or heritage value. Exemptions may apply in certain cases, such as removing dead or dangerous trees, managing species listed as noxious weeds, or carrying out limited maintenance pruning.
Because regulations differ between councils, it’s essential to check the specific rules that apply to your property before undertaking any works. We strongly recommend contacting your local council or reviewing their website to confirm the requirements relevant to your area.
For rural zoned properties, we encourage you to have a look at the regulations put forward by the NSW Local Land Services, as these are more applicable for your property - NSW LLS
