Which trees are protected in Brewarrina Shire Council?
Brewarrina 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.
Brewarrina Shire Council DOES NOT control tree removal on private land. The DCP contains no numeric tree size thresholds and prescribes no specific tree species. Only vague statement: "Development design shall accommodate the retention of any significant trees and vegetation" with no size criteria. Under Clause 5.9 of LEP, trees not prescribed in DCP can be removed without consent. Since no trees are prescribed, virtually any tree can be removed. Heritage protection (Clause 5.10) only covers heritage-listed properties in Schedule 5, not individual trees by size.
When you may not need approval
- All trees not prescribed in DCP (which prescribes none)
- Clause 5.9AAA default exemption for unprescribed trees
- Non-heritage properties
