Frequently Asked Questions
I want to lop, prune, remove or destroy a tree on my property. Am I allowed to do this?
Tree controls apply under various legislation across Victoria. These may include Planning, Local Law and Heritage controls. You may be required to obtain a permit to lop, prune, remove or destroy a tree on your property. In some instances a permit may also be required to undertake buildings or works near a tree. Contact us for Arboricultural advice and we can help assist with your permit needs or your local Council for the tree controls that apply to your property.
When should I remove a tree?
When it comes to deciding to remove a tree in Melbourne its best to seek advice from a qualified arborist. Structural issues, such as large dead branches or an unstable root system, could pose safety risks, warranting removal for precaution. Trees significantly damaged by storms or lightning may become hazardous, and their removal becomes a priority. Persistent signs of poor health, obstruction of views, or alignment with landscaping plans are additional reasons to consider tree removal. Before making any decisions, it’s advisable to consult with a certified arborist to assess the tree’s condition and explore alternative solutions. Additionally, be aware of and adhere to local regulations and permits governing tree removal in your area.
I have spoken to my neighbour about their tree, but they refuse to do anything about the issue. What are my options?
Neighbours trees can be a nuisance in many ways such leaf litter, overhanging your property and even tree root damage to infrastructure, fencing and dwellings. If this is occuring, the first thing you should do is discuss these issues with the owner of the tree.
You are however, allowed to prune a neighbouring tree, on your side only, as long as you do you not damage, kill or destroy the tree. This includes the root system. Please be advised that you may be allowed to prune the neighbouring tree but you should check with your local council what tree controls apply.
I believe a tree is causing damage to my property. What can I do?
Trees can be attributed to damaging individual structures, infrastructure and dwellings. In some instances trees maybe the obvious cause of the damage such as pavements being lifted by tree roots, pressures on fences and walls and even overhanging branches dropping leaf litter causing blockages to the gutters.
However, where you believe damage to a dwelling exists you should seek independent expert evidence from a structural and or geotechnical engineer. An arborist can assist in determining whether damage from a tree is likely and can liaise with your engineers to come up with a solution. This solution based on the evidence maybe tree removal, installation of root barriers if applicable and other Arboricultural solutions as necessary.
Are gum trees dangerous?
Gum trees (within the genius of Eucalyptus, Corymbia & Angophora) are a dominant feature in Australian landscapes and comprise of 850 eucalypt species that vary in form and size.
