Which trees are protected in Temora Shire Council?
Trees about 30cm trunk (circumference at 40cm above ground level) or larger are generally protected and need approval.
Tree removal protection applies to land identified as being of ecological significance under DCP Section C Chapter 3 (Tree and vegetation preservation). Tree defined as: circumference ≥30cm (at 40cm height) OR height ≥2.5m OR branch spread >2.5m. Removal requires Council permit or development consent. Also protected: native vegetation in non-urban/non-industrial zones (via Native Vegetation Act). Heritage trees separately protected under Schedule 5 of LEP. Street trees on Council land are offences to fell. Confidence is medium due to conditional nature of protection (only applies to ecologically significant mapped areas) and reliance on archived DCP document (2012) without Cloudflare-blocked access to current council website versions.
