Tree rules in Bimbi

Compiled from the council's published rules and cross-checked. Always confirm with the council.
Which trees are protected in Weddin Shire Council?
Trees about 4m tall or 15cm trunk (diameter at 1 meter above natural ground line) or larger are generally protected and need approval.
The 4m height and 150mm trunk diameter threshold is explicitly stated in Weddin's Landscaping on Nature Strip Policy (5.12.2), which defines trees as 'Significant' if they meet both criteria, measured 1m above natural ground line. However, this policy is specifically scoped to council-owned nature strips. The broader Tree Preservation, Removal & Replacement Planting Policy (5.1.5) is inaccessible (server 403 block), so the scope of protection for private-land trees cannot be confirmed from public sources. Confidence is medium due to this scope uncertainty; the numeric threshold is clear but its jurisdiction (nature-strip-only vs. all private land) is unresolved.
When you may not need approval
- Trees removed for public safety (7 days notice given)
- Trees with minor/no structural defects may undergo 14-day public consultation
