Eurobodalla Tree Preservation Rules
Most trees and native vegetation in Eurobodalla are protected under the Eurobodalla Local Environmental Plan, Council's Tree Preservation Code and the State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021. Before removing, pruning or damaging protected trees, it's important to confirm which approval pathway applies to your property.
- Most tree removal and major pruning on non-rural land needs a Tree Removal Permit or Development Consent, depending on whether the work forms part of a DA.
- Clearing thresholds scale with minimum lot size: generally 0.25 hectares or more for lots under 1 hectare, and 0.5 hectares or more for lots of 1 to 40 hectares. Clearing above these thresholds, or on land on the biodiversity values map, may need Native Vegetation Panel approval.
- Protected trees, including those on Eurobodalla's Significant Tree Register, can't be removed as part of a Complying Development Certificate and still need protection during nearby construction.
- Development affecting retained trees may need an arborist report, Arboricultural Impact Assessment, Tree Protection Plan to AS 4970 and project arborist inspections.
- We determine whether your project needs a Tree Removal Permit, DA or arborist report and prepare Council-ready documentation.

No. Protected trees, including any on Eurobodalla's Significant Tree Register, can't be removed as part of a CDC and still need protection during nearby construction.
Yes. We prepare DA arborist reports at design stage, Tree Protection Plans after approval and project arborist inspections through construction for residential and rural-residential projects across Eurobodalla.
