Note: Unless judged to be extreme, trees will not be removed for nuisance factors such as
blocking of view, leaf fall or shading. Council will work with the complaints to try to alleviate
the matter through selective pruning.
• Any tree removal or maintenance will be carried out by Council approved contractors.
• If a tree is approved for removal, it may take up to 12 months from the time of approval in order to
receive funding or to enable trees to be removed in batches for efficiency reasons.
