Replanting requirements
When Council grants a Development Consent or approval of a Tree Management Permit, it may require trees to be replanted, including:
- replacement tree species will be specified or approved by Council and will be of a type suitable for the site
- where insufficient space is available on the site of a development, Council may require the planting of replacement trees in a specified location on public land, or levy a fee from the developer to fund Council's planting of such trees on public land
- all work must be carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard for Pruning of Amenity Trees and Council may condition that the work be carried out by a qualified arborist.
