Local knowledge: protecting Coldstream landscapes
We are frequently asked about tree removal permits in the Yarra Ranges Shire. Understanding local planning overlays and significant tree registers is essential before work begins. Generally, removal of native trees or trees over a specific size requires council approval. We assist our clients by clarifying these local requirements during our initial consultation, ensuring that your project remains fully compliant with council regulations. Our deep familiarity with the Yarra Ranges planning scheme protects you from potential legal issues while ensuring our work aligns with the environmental values of our community.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Not for personal use, within limits. Collecting fallen timber or removing small trees for your own firewood or fencing is exempt, where a small tree means 40 centimetres or less in diameter at breast height. Anything thicker than that measurement falls outside the exemption.
Yes, that one is exempt. Removing native vegetation to build a boundary fence on your own land, or to maintain a fence already standing, needs no planning permit. The exemption attaches to the fence itself, so it does not stretch to clearing a wider strip for access or paddock use.
To a limited extent, in the farming and rural zones. Removal is exempt where it is needed to construct or maintain agricultural buildings and works, and for a single new dwelling. The exemption covers what those works actually require, not clearing the surrounding paddock at the same time.
Often they do not. Several of the native vegetation exemptions drop away where an environmental overlay sits over the land, which is common through the Yarra Valley. That is the step worth checking first, because an exemption relied on elsewhere may not be available on your title.
Sometimes. Existing paddock trees can count toward an offset where they are fenced off from stock and five healthy new trees are established around each one within ten years. It is slower than buying credits, but it keeps both the trees and the money on the property.
Stock, usually. Cattle and horses camp under the only shade in a paddock, compacting the root zone and stripping bark around the base, and the crown thins from there over years. It is the reason the offset rules insist a retained paddock tree is fenced off.
Next step tree removals were fantastic. Removed trees from my pool area. The did an amazing job, left the site clean and tidy and were best priced by far and very professional at their job. I can’t ask for a better job, Im more than happy with their work and would use them again. I highly recommend them.
