Tree Removal Permit
Council does not have authority over trees on private property except in exceptional circumstances.
The main exception is when a tree is considered significant under the Local Law No.1 Community Amenity 2013.
The National Trust holds a significant tree register which includes several public trees throughout the City of Port Phillip.
Residents are required to seek permission to remove or prune significant trees on their property.
