🌿 Brisbane Tree Removal Rules – Stay Compliant with Council Regulations
Planning to prune or remove a tree in Brisbane? 🌳 It’s not as simple as grabbing a saw — Brisbane City Council has strict vegetation protection laws under the Natural Assets Local Law 2003 (NALL). Before starting any tree work, it’s vital to check whether the tree is protected, especially if it’s a native species, part of a park, or located near a waterway or wetland.
Removing or interfering with protected vegetation without a permit may lead to serious penalties. That’s why it’s important to lodge a Protected Vegetation Enquiry through the council or consult a qualified arborist to assess your tree. Arborist reports are often required to support permit applications for regulated or heritage-listed trees.
✅ Common activities that require a permit:
1. Pruning or removing a protected or council-managed tree
2. Building or excavating near a tree’s root zone
3. Clearing vegetation within regulated overlays
Even minor work like pruning street trees may need council approval. Our team at Chip Off The Old Block Tree Services ensures your pruning or removal job is legal, safe, and environmentally responsible.
