Maroondah council tree removal

You don't need to apply for a tree removal permit when:

• You are complying with a formal Notice to Clear fire hazards specifically referring to trees or native vegetation
• Clearance of electricity lines is required
• You wish to prune a tree for regeneration or ornamental shaping

If you want to apply for a permit on your own, check tree or native vegetation removal application. If your permit is successfully approved, contact us, and we'll visit your site. We'll evaluate the tree in question.

Canopy trees (such as large deciduous shade trees, evergreens, and flowering fruit trees) are vital in urban areas. They:

• Add beauty to a landscape
• Help block unwanted views
• Reduce the urban heat island effect by providing shade and shelter
• Moderate wind and absorb pollutants
• Provide habitat for wildlife and biodiversity
• Support the sustainability of our environment and communities

No. You're allowed to maintain the shape of your hedges. It's important to consider hiring a professional and qualified arborist to carry out the work though, otherwise you might end up with an uneven hedge.
