Fairfield Council Tree Guidelines

Fairfield Council regulates tree removal, pruning and development affecting trees through the Fairfield Citywide Development Control Plan and 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 Fairfield Council's planning and assessment requirements.

  • Development Applications affecting existing trees commonly require an Arboricultural Impact Assessment prepared in accordance with AS 4970.
  • Most private tree removal and pruning requires a Tree Work Permit, unless a recognised exemption applies.
  • Council maintains an exempt species list of "undesirable" trees that may be removed without a permit when identified in writing by a qualified arborist or horticulturalist.
  • Clearing associated with development may also be subject to the NSW Biodiversity Offsets Scheme where applicable.
  • 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?

Fairfield Council maintains an exempt species list of "undesirable" trees that may be removed without a Tree Work Permit, provided a qualified arborist or horticulturalist identifies the tree in writing beforehand. Outside this list, most tree work requires Council approval. We can confirm whether your tree qualifies before you proceed.

Do I need Council approval to remove a tree?

In most situations, yes. Council generally requires a Tree Work Permit for pruning or removal unless the tree is dead, hazardous, causing structural damage or is listed as an exempt species under Council's policy.

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 industrial developments across Fairfield Council.
