Penrith Council Tree Guidelines

Penrith Council regulates tree removal, pruning and development affecting trees through the Penrith Development Control Plan (Part C2 – Vegetation Management) and, for native vegetation, the State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021.

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 Penrith Council's planning and assessment requirements.

  • Development Applications affecting existing trees commonly require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment prepared in accordance with AS 4970.
  • Outside of a Development Application, tree removal or pruning generally requires a Vegetation Permit, unless a defined exemption applies.
  • Common exemptions include trees assessed as imminently dangerous by a suitably qualified arborist, dead trees not required as fauna habitat, minor pruning within Council limits and certain trees located close to dwellings.
  • Native vegetation clearing may be regulated separately under State legislation depending on the location, scale of works and biodiversity requirements.
  • We assess the relevant Council requirements for your site, determine whether exemptions apply and prepare the documentation needed to support your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my tree exempt from Council approval?

Penrith Council allows certain tree management works without a Vegetation Permit, including trees assessed as imminently dangerous by a suitably qualified arborist, dead trees that are not habitat for native fauna and some trees located within three metres of a dwelling. We can determine whether your tree qualifies before any work begins.

Do I need Council approval to remove a tree?

In most situations, yes. Penrith Council generally requires either a Vegetation Permit or Development Application approval before removing or pruning protected trees unless a specific exemption applies.

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 rural developments across Penrith Council.
