Liverpool Council Tree Guidelines

Liverpool Council regulates tree removal, pruning and development affecting trees through its planning controls, requiring development consent or an authorisation permit before removing, pruning or damaging most protected trees 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 Liverpool Council's planning and assessment requirements.

  • Development Applications affecting existing trees commonly require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment prepared in accordance with AS 4970.
  • Council approval is generally required for trees exceeding 3.5 metres in height, 4 metres in canopy spread, or 400 mm trunk diameter (measured one metre above ground level), unless exemptions apply.
  • Liverpool Council maintains a list of exempt species, including Camphor Laurel, Privet, African Olive, Willow, Poplar, Rhus Tree and several other nominated species.
  • Additional planning considerations may apply within Western Sydney growth areas and land affected by major infrastructure projects, including the Western Sydney Airport precinct.
  • 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?

Liverpool Council allows certain nominated species-including Camphor Laurel, Cootamundra Wattle, Privet, African Olive, Willow, Poplar and other listed trees-to be removed without approval. Exemptions may also apply where Council considers a tree to be dead, dying or dangerous and it is not required as habitat for native fauna. We can confirm whether your tree qualifies before you proceed.

Do I need Council approval to remove a tree?

In most situations, yes. Approval is generally required for trees over 3.5 metres high, with a canopy spread exceeding 4 metres or a trunk diameter greater than 400 mm, unless the tree qualifies under Council's exemption criteria.

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, industrial and rural developments across Liverpool Council.
