Expert Arborist Reports Across Wingecarribee Shire
Covering Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Bundanoon and every Wingecarribee Shire town and village.
Wingecarribee Shire combines the historic commercial centre of Bowral with growing communities around Mittagong and Moss Vale, bushland-fringed properties in the Northern Highlands, and heritage-rich rural villages to the south.

Wingecarribee Tree Preservation Rules
Wingecarribee Shire Council may require a Tree Permit, Development Application or arborist report where proposed tree work or development affects protected trees or vegetation. Understanding these requirements early tells you what your project needs before work begins.
- Council approval is generally required where a tree is more than 6 metres high, has a trunk circumference of at least 500 mm measured 1 metre above ground, or has a canopy spread of 4 metres or more.
- Trees affected by development are assessed through the DA process and commonly need an Arboricultural Impact Assessment, TPZ and SRZ assessment, and a Tree Protection Plan prepared to AS 4970 where applicable.
- Additional approvals may be required for heritage properties, Heritage Conservation Areas, biodiversity land and threatened ecological communities.
- Trees protected by an approved Development Consent generally cannot be removed through a standard tree permit and may need a modification to the consent.
- Unauthorised pruning or removal may result in enforcement action and penalties.
- We determine whether your project needs a Tree Permit, DA or arborist report and prepare Council-ready documentation.
