After we assess your application, you will be sent a permit. This will include any conditions you need to follow when pruning or removing the tree/s.

In some cases we may not approve the full amount of pruning requested. When we assess your application, we will consider how much pruning is needed to reduce any issues caused by your neighbour’s tree. You’ll also have to make sure that any pruning of tree roots doesn’t make the tree unstable.

A qualified arborist will need to do all the approved pruning work.

Make sure you follow all conditions carefully, and only prune or remove trees included in the permit. Penalties can apply for pruning or removing trees without approval.
