Regulations & Council Approval:

Depending on where you live, there will be different regulations in place regarding the removal of trees. This is why it’s essential that you do your research to ensure you are not breaking any rules that could lead to an expensive fine. A lot of councils will not allow the removal of a tree unless there is a genuine reason to do so. Examples of genuine reasons to have a tree removed include if the tree is diseased or dying, if the tree is causing damage to your property or if the tree is a bushfire hazard. If you opt to use an experienced and qualified arborist (like the Same Day Trees & Palms team) you will be provided with all the up to date information when it comes to tree removal within your local council.

Tree Species:

There are various species of tree which are exempt from being removed, this is usually to help conserve native species. This will again depend on where you are located, as each council will have a list that outlines which species of trees cannot be removed. If a tree is native, it will generally be more likely to be protected than more newly introduced species. This isn’t always the case though, so be sure to do your research, contact your local council or ask an experienced arborist in your region for advice.

Research:

Not only should you do your research into your council regulations and tree species, but you should also look into the different arborists and tree removal companies in your area. This is to ensure you are choosing a qualified team that will carry out a safe removal that adheres to all the regulations in place within your region. Tree removal can be a potentially dangerous task, so it’s essential that you pick a reputable tree removalist who has a strict safety policy in place and insurance certificates.
