Canada Bay Council Tree Rules and Guidelines
Before pruning or removing a tree in the City of Canada Bay, check Council's tree preservation requirements under the City of Canada Bay Development Control Plan.
- Council approval is generally required before pruning or removing protected trees, including trees 5 metres or taller, heritage trees and trees protected under the DCP.
- Heritage Items and properties within Heritage Conservation Areas generally require Development Consent, rather than a standard Tree Permit, before removal or major pruning.
- Common exemptions include unprotected trees, dead branches with no habitat value, declared priority weeds, pruning of up to 10% of the canopy per calendar year by an AQF Level 3 or higher arborist to AS 4373, and permitted pruning of branches overhanging neighbouring properties.
- Where building works may affect retained trees, Council may require an arborist report covering TPZs, construction impacts, retention feasibility and protection measures.
- We assess your site, explain Council requirements and prepare the right arborist report before work begins.
