Understanding Hume City Council Tree Removal Regulations

Good news for Hume City residents: according to Hume City Council’s planning scheme, you typically will not require a planning permit to remove a tree on private property. However, it’s important to understand that whilst a formal planning permit may not be needed, you may still require consent from Council depending on your specific circumstances.

When You May Need Council Consent

Whilst Hume City Council doesn’t generally require permits for tree removal on private property, certain situations may still require council consent or approval:

Planning Overlays: If your property is subject to specific planning overlays, additional tree protection measures may apply. These overlays can include:

• Environmental Significance Overlays (ESO)
• Vegetation Protection Overlays (VPO)
• Significant Landscape Overlays (SLO)
• Heritage Overlays affecting vegetation

Native Vegetation: Properties containing remnant native vegetation as defined under Clause 52.17 of the Hume Planning Scheme require additional planning and protection measures.

Development Projects: If you’re undertaking development or construction work, tree protection zones and specific arborist reports may be required to protect retained trees during the development process.

Property Planning History: The planning history of your property may affect whether consent is needed for tree works.

To determine whether your specific property requires any form of council consent, we recommend checking the Hume Planning Scheme or contacting Council directly on 03 9205 2200.

The Difference Between Permits and Consent

It’s important to understand the distinction: a planning permit involves a formal application process with associated fees, whilst council consent may be a simpler approval process. In both cases, you’ll typically need to provide:

• Your name and contact details
• Property address and description
• A property plan showing tree locations with dimensions and heights
• Tree species description
• Clear reasons for the proposed tree removal
• Photographs of the tree(s) in question
