Private Tree Removal Application Form

The Private Tree Removal Application Form is to be used for trees/shrubs located on private land and the trees/shrubs are not associated with a development.

This form should NOT be used if:

• The tree/shrub is to be removed to allow for future development. Tree/shrub removal associated with development will be assessed as part of the Development Application process.
• There is a previous or current development consent requiring the retention or planting of the tree/shrub proposed for removal. Refer to Council's Duty Officer or Private Certifier (potential Section 96 application may be required).
• The tree or shrub forms part of an Endangered Ecological Community or is associated with a Native Vegetation Community or is a Threatened Species. Please refer to the Native Vegetation Removal Permit
• The tree or shrub is within 100 metres of a designated SEPP14 wetland boundary. Please refer to Native Vegetation Removal Permit
