If you live in the City of Yarra and are planning to prune or remove a tree on your property, you must first check the council’s regulations for tree works.
These laws apply to properties in Abbotsford, Burnley, Clifton Hill, Collingwood, Cremorne, Fitzroy, Fitzroy North, Princes Hill, and Richmond.
They may also apply to parts of Alphington, Carlton North, and Fairfield, as sections of these suburbs fall under the City of Yarra’s jurisdiction.
The London Plane (Platanus × acerifolia) is one of the most commonly planted trees by Council in this area. Many homeowners also retain gum trees in their backyards.
With increasing development and new apartment construction across the City of Yarra, the demand for professional tree pruning and stump removal has grown to help manage tighter land boundaries and an expanding property base.
Yarra City Council maintains a register of trees that receive a higher level of protection than standard canopy trees These trees are protected due to their size, age, rarity, ecological value, or cultural and historical importance.
A “Significant Tree” may be a single tree, an avenue of trees, or even a hedge, and can be located on either public or private land. To check if your tree is listed, CLICK HERE
