Woollahra Municipal Council regulates tree pruning, removal and protection under Clause 5.9 of the Woollahra LEP 2014 and Chapter E3 – Tree Management of the Woollahra DCP.
Most work involving protected trees requires approval through either a Tree Works Application or, in some circumstances, a Development Application.
Arbor Express prepares AQF Level 5 Arborist Reports that help homeowners, builders, architects and developers satisfy Woollahra Council's planning requirements.
In most situations, yes. Trees greater than 5 metres in height, or with a crown spread exceeding 3 metres, generally require either a Tree Works Application or a Development Application before removal or major pruning.
Chapter E3 of the Woollahra DCP identifies several exempt species and works, including removal of deadwood. Exemptions do not apply to trees listed on the Significant Tree Register, heritage-listed trees or trees retained under an existing Development Consent. We can confirm whether your tree is exempt before any work begins.
Depending on the purpose of the report, it may include a tree health and structural assessment, retention recommendations, impact assessment and tree protection measures tailored to support a Development Application, Tree Works Application or Health & Safety assessment.
Fast-track reporting is available for urgent and hazardous tree assessments, subject to current availability.
