Canterbury-Bankstown Council Tree Guidelines

Canterbury-Bankstown Council regulates tree removal, pruning and development affecting trees through its Tree Management Order, which applies broadly to trees on private land across the Local Government Area.

Whether you're removing a tree, lodging a Development Application or undertaking construction near retained trees, Council approval and supporting arboricultural documentation may be required depending on your proposal and the applicable planning controls.

Arbor Express prepares AQF Level 5 Arborist Reports that help homeowners, builders, architects and developers satisfy Canterbury-Bankstown Council's planning and assessment requirements.

  • Development Applications affecting existing trees commonly require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment prepared in accordance with AS 4970.
  • Tree removal and major pruning generally require Council approval, with limited exemptions for imminent risk to life or property and declared noxious weeds.
  • Approved tree removals may include replacement planting requirements, with the number and size of replacement trees determined by Council.
  • Additional planning requirements may apply within Heritage Conservation Areas and where retained trees are affected by development.
  • We assess the relevant Council requirements for your site and prepare the documentation needed to support your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my tree exempt from Council approval?

Canterbury-Bankstown Council's Tree Management Order applies broadly to trees on private land, with limited exemptions, including where removal is the only reasonable way to address an imminent risk to life or property or for declared noxious weeds. We can confirm whether your tree qualifies before you proceed.

Do I need Council approval to remove a tree?

In most situations, yes. Approval depends on the tree's condition, species, location, heritage status and whether it forms part of a proposed Development Application.

What does an Arborist Report include?

Depending on the purpose of the report, it may include a tree health and structural assessment, Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) and Structural Root Zone (SRZ) calculations, retention recommendations, impact assessment and tree protection measures prepared in accordance with current Australian Standards.

How soon can you attend for an urgent assessment?

Fast-track reporting is available for urgent and hazardous tree assessments, subject to current availability.

Do you prepare reports for builders, architects and developers?

Yes. We prepare DA Arborist Reports during the design stage, Tree Protection Plans following Development Consent and provide Project Arborist inspections throughout demolition and construction for residential, commercial and industrial developments across Canterbury-Bankstown Council.
