Starting January 1, 2024, new tree protection legislation will be implemented in Canberra, significantly increasing the number of protected trees on private land. This legislation aims to provide enhanced protection for both private and public trees. Under these new regulations, any work that could potentially damage a protected tree, such as tree removal, pruning, utility maintenance, or construction, will require prior approval.
Canopy Contribution Agreement
If you receive approval to remove a protected tree, you will enter into a Canopy Contribution Agreement. This agreement outlines the commitment to replant trees on the block and/or make a financial contribution.
Requirements for Homeowners
For homeowners (owner-occupiers) in Canberra, the new requirements for tree removal are:
- Replanting: Replant two trees on your block for each tree approved for removal. O’Brien’s Tree Services can handle this for you.
- Financial Contribution: If replanting on the site is not possible, as determined by the ACT Government, a financial contribution of $600 per replacement tree not planted is required, up to a maximum of $1,200 per removed tree.
For more details on your obligations, visit ACT Tree Protection.
