No stress, no fines: get your tree pruning done the right way — safe and Council-approved.

Caring for your trees is more than a landscaping choice, it’s about safety, environmental responsibility, and compliance. In Sydney, tree pruning and removal must follow strict Council regulations. Ignoring them can result in serious fines.

Do You Need Council Approval?

  • Approval is required for protected or heritage-listed trees, or those posing safety risks.
  •  Exemptions apply to dead or dying trees, specific Council-listed species, or emergency hazards.

How to Apply:

  1. Check for Exemptions via the Council’s tree guidelines.
  2. Submit the Tree Work Application (fee: $95). Response within 28 working days.
  3. In a Development Zone? You may need additional planning approval.

 IMPORTANT: Unauthorised tree work can lead to severe fines, including:

  • Up to $2 million for companies
  • Up to $500,000 for individuals
