Council tree permits in Melbourne

Many Melbourne councils protect significant trees, or trees above a certain trunk size, through local laws or planning overlays, and removing one without a permit can bring a fine. The rules differ council by council, so check yours before you book. Branches near power lines must be handled by a worker authorised for that work.

  • Photograph the full tree, trunk base and nearby buildings or cables.
  • Show gates, fences and access for machinery and waste removal.
  • Check council rules before agreeing to remove a tree.
  • Ask whether stump grinding, branch removal and site cleanup are included.

Common questions

Who checks if a tree on my property is protected in Melbourne?
Your local council. Search its website for tree protection local laws or call its planning team with the tree's location and trunk size; an arborist can measure it for you.
Can I remove a tree close to my house?
A tree worker needs to assess access and how branches can be lowered safely. Check local protection rules before the work is booked.
Is stump grinding included when a tree is removed?
Often it is a separate task. Ask for the stump, roots near the surface and waste removal to be described in the quote.
