Draft Tree Management Policy & Procedure

Council is seeking feedback on a revised Tree Management Policy and Procedure. Council’s current Tree Management Policy was adopted in 2015 and fell due for review in late 2017. A summary of the main changes proposed to the existing policy is provided below.

The Tree Management Policy and Procedure provide a guiding framework for the planting, maintenance, conservation and removal of all trees on Council land which includes parks & gardens, urban biodiversity reserves, rural reserves, urban streets and rural roads.
