Tree Felling/Removal Permit — State & Local Council
Most Australian councils require a permit before removing or significantly pruning trees above defined size thresholds (typically 3-5m height or 200mm diameter at breast height). State legislation layers additional approvals for native vegetation. Penalties can exceed $1 million for unlawful removal of significant or protected trees.
