Willoughby Council Tree Regulations

Willoughby Council’s tree regulations require a permit for pruning or removing trees taller than 5 metres, with a canopy spread over 5 metres, or a trunk circumference greater than 500mm at 1 metre above the ground. Applications must include an arborist report and comply with Australian Standard AS 4373-2007. Exemptions apply to dead, dying, or dangerous trees, but evidence is required. Special rules exist for heritage-listed trees and those in heritage conservation areas. Our licensed and insured arborists conduct safe and professional tree care, ensuring compliance with council guidelines. We provide transparent pricing and free tree inspections, allowing residents to maintain healthy trees while adhering to local laws.
