Question 4

What council regulations apply to tree work in Lower Portland?

Accepted Answer

Tree management in Lower Portland falls under Hawkesbury Council's Development Control Plan and Tree Preservation Order, with specific requirements applying to most tree work. Protection typically applies to trees over a certain size threshold, generally those exceeding 3 metres in height or with a trunk diameter over 10cm measured at chest height, with certain species exemptions for recognised weeds. Additional considerations apply for properties with environmental protection zones, riparian corridor designations, or bushfire management overlays where specific provisions for vegetation management may exist. Lower Portland's distinctive rural and riverside environment receives particular protection reflecting its environmental significance and contribution to the Hawkesbury's character. Our arborists maintain current understanding of these requirements and assist with all aspects of the approval process, including preliminary assessment determining whether proposed work requires permission; application preparation completing all required documentation with supporting plans; property vegetation plans developing appropriate frameworks for ongoing management; arborist reports providing professional justification and technical details when necessary; site inspections supporting application assessment when required; and ongoing communication with council officers addressing queries and facilitating approval. We ensure all work complies with relevant Australian Standards and maintain positive relationships with Hawkesbury Council, facilitating smooth approval processes while achieving practical outcomes for Lower Portland property owners. For properties with specific planning constraints, we provide specialised advice ensuring compliance while achieving practical management objectives.
