Questions
Permit assistance: common questions
Something else on your mind? Ask in the form below and Albert will get back to you.
How do I know if my tree is protected?
Each council sets its own rules through its planning scheme and local laws. Protection can depend on the species, the trunk size, the height or where the tree sits on the block. Albert can check the rules that apply at your address.
What happens if a protected tree is removed without a permit?
Councils can issue fines and may require replacement planting. It is always worth checking first, and it costs nothing to ask.
