After you lodge a tree application, we will inspect the trees listed.

Please tag the tree/s as soon as you lodge your application so we can easily identify them.

Use a brightly coloured tape, ribbon, string, or a similar non-permanent material that won't hurt the tree.

For everyone's health and safety, we are limiting face-to-face contact when we inspect your tree/s.

We don't generally make appointments to inspect trees, so please include all removal or pruning reasons within your application. If you've told us that there's an aggressive dog on the property, or access issues like locked gates, we will call you to arrange a suitable time for inspection. Please make sure you put your correct daytime phone number on the application to help with this process and avoid delays.

Tree inspection safety

For everyone's health and safety, we are limiting face-to-face contact when we inspect your tree/s. Please:

  • make sure we can access your property without you being present, and
  • tell us when you make an application about any issues we need to consider to keep everyone safe.

Please make sure you have your correct daytime phone number on your application to help with this process.
