Significant Tree Nomination
The process to nominate a tree for listing on Councils Significant Tree register is:
- Take clear photos of the whole tree and its setting
- Complete all sections of the Significant Tree Nomination Form and submit to Council together with the photos of the tree
- A Council Officer will review the Significant Tree application and list private land trees on the Significant Tree Register provided all application fields are completed and required information is provided, or
- If the tree is on Council owned land a Council arborist with minimum qualification AQF 5 will assess the application, the condition of the tree and its significance in the landscape
- Where Council owned trees may fit the heritage criteria, then the application will be referred to Councils Heritage Officer for comment
- If determined suitable for inclusion by the Council officer, the nominated Council owned tree will be added to the Significant Tree Register
- Residents will be advised in writing of the outcome of a Significant Tree application
- The Significant Tree list will be updated, and the Significant Tree Register on Councils website will be updated at six-month intervals with revised listings
