Tree Management
Cabonne Council's Tree Management Policy outlines how trees on Council-managed streets, parks, reserves and public land are managed to balance community safety, infrastructure protection, and the many environmental and social benefits trees provide.
The policy sets clear guidelines for tree maintenance pruning and removal, prioritising public safety while seeking to retain and preserve trees that contribute to local amenity and identity. It also explains Council's approach to managing trees near power lines, responding to customer requests, consulting with the community about planned tree removals, and selecting appropriate species for new plantings.
This policy ensures tree management activities are undertaken responsibly, transparently and in accordance with relevant legislation and standards.
