Tree removal or pruning

Report a tree on public land that is dangerous, storm damaged, or blocking a road, a footpath or a utility line.

Where
Public land only
that the Commission maintains
Assessed
On site
by an officer, before any work

What we do

  • Assess trees on land the Commission maintains
  • Remove trees that are dead, dangerous or storm damaged
  • Prune back growth blocking a road, path or utility line
  • Clear fallen limbs after a storm

What we do not do

Knowing this now saves you a four week wait for a refusal.

  • Work on trees on private property, including trees overhanging your land from a neighbour
  • Remove a healthy tree because it drops leaves or blocks a view
  • Carry out work without an officer assessing it first

Request an assessment

For a tree on land the Commission maintains. An officer assesses it on site before any work is scheduled.

The road, the park or the beach, and where in it. A landmark helps.

What is wrong with it?

What you can see, and whether anything is at risk underneath it.

Only if you can take one safely. It usually means the right crew comes first time.

Your request goes to the Parks and Beaches department.
