Tree Removal Permit

Prior to initiating any action to remove, destroy, or prune (trim) vegetation on your property, encompassing trees, shrubs, orchids, and ground cover of both native and exotic species, it is essential to verify whether you have the authority to do so.

Also check that there aren’t any covenants or caveats for trees on Title. 

These regulations align with the Cardinia Planning Scheme, our local law and/or rules about native vegetation in the Victorian Government’s Planning and Environment Act.
