Protection of Significant Trees

In 2009, Council introduced an amendment to its Environment Local Law No.3 that will help to protect Yarra’s significant trees.
 
Under the local law, a tree is considered significant if it is listed on the City of Yarra Significant Tree Register and/or has a trunk that is 400mm or wider.

The local law requires that a person must not damage, destroy or lop a significant tree without a permit.

However, a permit is not required for cutting, trimming or pruning a significant tree.
