Which trees are protected in Bogan Shire Council?
Bogan Shire Council generally does not require council approval to remove trees on private property — its tree controls don't apply to private land. Other laws (native vegetation, heritage, threatened species) may still apply, so confirm with the council.
Bogan Shire Council Local Environmental Plan 2011 uses standard NSW LEP Clause 5.9 for tree preservation. However, the Bogan Development Control Plan 2012 (amended April 2014) does NOT contain a schedule of protected vegetation species. Section 1.37 (Vegetation) only requires replacement of any trees removed from proposed building footprints with comparable native/mature trees. This means most private-land trees can be removed without development consent under Clause 5.9AA. State-level native vegetation regulations may apply separately to native vegetation in rural areas. Bogan Council does NOT have a dedicated Tree Preservation Order protecting private land.
When you may not need approval
- Trees on crown land (State forest, timber reserves)
- Trees required to be removed by utility legislation (Electricity Supply Act, Roads Act, Surveying Act)
- Noxious weeds (Noxious Weeds Act)
- Trees posing immediate risk to human life or property
