Throughout the municipality tree lopping and removal on private property may require permission by way of a permit. The need for permission could be due to one of two reasons:

  • The tree protection Overlay applicable on the land; and/or
  • Planning history that may exist over the property (e.g. a development that was permitted and has since built)

An Overlay is a planning control that applies to a property if identified on the relevant planning maps. The type of Overlay that applies determines the applicable tree protection (e.g. individually significant; Victorian native; achieves a minimum size; or a combination of these). The list below summarizes the various names of the Overlays that apply throughout the municipality and that can outline tree permit requirements:

  • Environmental Significance Overlay
  • Significant Landscape Overlay
  • Vegetation Protection
