Monash council tree removal

If your tree lies outside of a VPO area. And if it does lie within a VPO area, you can override the need for a permit if the tree is dead or presents an immediate risk of personal injury or damage to property. We can also remove a tree if it's on the exempt tree list.

We can remove these types of trees without a council permit:

• All types of Willow
• Radiata Pine
• Monterey Pines
• Sweet Pittosporum
• Evergreen Alders
• Desert Ashes

‍

We can help you apply for a tree removal permit. Let us know the location of the site, and what kind of tree you have, and we'll let you know if you need a permit for it. If you don't know what kind of tree it is, take a photo, and our expert arborists will identify the species.

The areas within Monash council jurisdiction are divided into five neighbourhood characters. Within each neighbourhood character, there are various tree species and types, some of which are heritage trees planted in the pre-Second World War era. To avoid losing these trees, the council came up with regulatory guidelines.
