What do I need a permit for?

A Council permit is required by private property owners when work to be carried out on trees or vegetation is:

• Located within a Heritage Conservation Area (HCA)
• The property or garden is Heritage listed
• Within an Endangered Ecological Community (EEC) area
• Outside the scope of what is permitted without a permit

To apply for a permit, the property owner must consent to the work by signing the application form. All permit requests are assessed by one of Council’s qualified arborists using current industry methodologies and standards.
