Tree removal permit for Manningham City Council

‍

Manningham Council manages pruning and removal of trees by way of the Planning Scheme which identifies a range of ‘Overlays’. These ‘Overlays’ are designed to restrict residents and homeowners from undertaking work on their trees. This includes removal, lopping and substantial pruning, without a permit being approved by the council. These ‘overlays’ are explained at the following link:

Manningham City Council Planning Scheme Overlays

It is important to also note that if your land forms part of a subdivision or redevelopment that has occurred within the last 30 years, then it is possible your trees may be protected by additional local laws or a covenant on your title, even if your property is not in a Planning Scheme Overlay. It’s always important to check with your council.

‘Overlays’ of greatest importance are:

The Environmental Significance Overlay (ESO)

The Vegetation Protection Overlay (VPO)

The Significant Landscape Overlay (SLO)

The Heritage Overlay (HO)

‍

With significant possible fines, it is critical that any tree work undertaken within the Manningham City Council area first be subject to a careful investigation of potential regulatory requirements or restrictions.
