Tree and Vegetation Management Application

At the top of the Tree and Vegetation Management Application Form you must indicate whether you are applying for a permit or development consent.

Development consent is only required for:

Removal of heritage listed trees; removal of “Prescribed Vegetation” on heritage properties and removal of “Prescribed Vegetation” in heritage conservation areas.

In all other instances a permit application is required for management of “Prescribed Vegetation.”

Heritage conservation areas and heritage properties are shown on the heritage maps that are part of Hunters Hill Local Environmental Plan 2012.
