Thinking about removing some trees from off your property?
Perhaps you’ve got new plans for your garden or you’re sick and tired of cleaning up after the tree and leaf refuse.
Either way, even when the trees are on your personal property, you must still obtain approval from your local council prior to removing tree/s from your property.
Keep in mind, if you don’t get formal approval from the local council to remove the trees but do it anyway, you could incur a substantial fine.
But don’t be disheartened. Even protected tree species such as Australian Red Gums – although you probably won’t get approval to remove it completely – council’s still often make provision for pruning the trees branches and tree trimming services in the Northern Beaches, to ensure the tree remains safe, healthy and balanced.
So consider Northern Beaches Arborist for all your arborist tree services in the Northern Beaches! We’re your local, experienced, friendly and professional arborist team.
Tree Removal In The Northern Beaches
When it comes to complete tree removal, the rules differ from council to council, so make sure you get in touch with Northern Beaches Council if you want some advice or to find out more on how to formally apply to remove a tree on your property and any other info that’s important when removing a tree on your property.
If you live close to bushland or an area that has a high risk of bushfires, you can check the 10/50 vegetation clearing entitlement area as it gives removal allowances without formal council approval.
So if your property is located within a certain area, the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Scheme will allow you to clear specific vegetation close to your home without needing approval from the Northern Beaches council. Get in touch with Northern Beaches council to find out more.
You can organize Northern Beaches Arborist to assist with vegetation clearing and tree trimming services in the Northern Beaches when you’re ready to get started.
Tree Preservation Orders
A protected tree is a tree that requires a separate permit or development consent for pruning or removal.
That’s not to say you can’t get approval for tree trimming services for the tree in question in the Northern Beaches.
Keep in mind if you are developing or renovating, a protected tree species will require some form of protection during any form of construction or renovation to ensure it’s not damaged in the process.
An arborist providing tree services in the Northern Beaches can always assist.
