Including the right information with your Tree Permit application can help to avoid delays in this process.

Information you need to attach with your application includes:

• Information to help us easily identify the tree/s your request applies to, such as:
  • an aerial map of the property clearly showing the tree/s location. This could be a satellite image, hand-drawn map, diagram or plan.
  • photos of the tree/s .
• A description of the number and type of trees (if known) included in the application.
• The reason/s you want to prune or remove the tree/s.
• Relevant reports (if available) from qualified experts, for example arborist, structural engineer, plumber, geotechnical expert, etc.
• Information about your property that will help us inspect the trees. This includes things like:
  • Whether you have any dogs or pets on the property.
  • If the trees can be accessed. For example, if there are locked gates that would need to be opened for us to inspect the tree.
• Your correct daytime phone number so we can reach you if we need more information, or to arrange access to inspect the tree/s.

If you are not the property owner, you will also need to attach a legal document showing the owner's approval for you to act on their behalf. This could include (but is not limited to) strata managers, Power of Attorney, Directors of companies, Trustees, Executors, etc.
