Which trees are protected in Nambucca Valley Council?
Nambucca Valley 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.
Nambucca Valley Council explicitly states it does NOT have a Tree Preservation Order currently in operation and cannot resolve disputes between neighbours relating to trees on private land. The Nambucca DCP 2010 does not prescribe any tree thresholds for removal on private land. Private-land tree disputes are governed by the NSW Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act 2006 and state legislation, not local council control. Public land trees (street trees, riparian zones) are managed under separate council policies (ES10 Trees and Street Gardens, ES26 Trees on Public Land Guidelines) with defined size thresholds (trees over 4m high or 3m branch spread), but these do not apply to private land.
When you may not need approval
- All trees on private land are outside council control; trees on public land (e.g. street trees) are managed by council under separate policies (ES10, ES26)
