Moorabool Shire Council Tree Removal Permits

Do I Need a Permit?

Moorabool Shire Council protects the region’s treed character, which means most trees and vegetation require a permit to be removed, destroyed, or lopped. This applies to properties across all localities within the shire.

Understanding Your Permit Requirements

The need for a planning permit depends on several factors, including:

  • The size and species of the tree
  • Your property’s planning zone
  • Whether your property is subject to vegetation protection overlays
  • The extent of proposed tree work (removal vs pruning)
  • Whether the tree is a native or introduced species

Frequently Asked Questions

The duration of a tree removal depends on several factors such as the size and location of the tree, the equipment and personnel available, and any obstacles or hazards that may be present. A small dead tree in a open area with no obstacles could take a few hours, while a larger palm tree in a more confined space with obstacles could take a full day or more. It’s best to give our friendly team a call on 0426 204 514 to discuss our tree removal service for an estimate specific to your project.

Yes, we can also offer tree stump removal using our specialised stump grinder.

 

 

Prior to our arrival, we would appreciate it if all vehicles can be removed from any immediate accessible areas i.e driveways, car ports which may be utilized by us during tree removal.

If you are only having stumps ground or removed and they are located at the backyard, it is imperative to ensure that the access point from the front to the back is clear for our stump grinder to pass through.

Charlie will send you a text message when he and the team are on their way.

Out of courtesy, you may like to let your neighbours know that you will be having tree removal carried out. This may also be important if you need them to move any of their cars to assist us in accessing your property.

If you choose only to have the tree cut to ground level, and would like to try DIY tree sump removal, we recommend a poisoning regime afterwards. We suggest using “Roundup Super 570”.

Professional tree removal services typically use a variety of equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees. Some of the equipment that may be used includes:

  • Chainsaws: used to cut and remove branches and trunk sections
  • Wood chippers: used to chip and shred branches and brush into smaller pieces
  • Aerial lifts or bucket trucks: used to access and remove taller trees
  • Stump grinders: used to grind down and remove tree stumps

The specific equipment used will depend on the size and location of the tree, as well as any obstacles or hazards present.

After a tree has been removed, our team will typically dispose of the tree debris in one of several ways.

Our most common approach is chip the debris on-site using our wood chipper. The chips can then be used as mulch or we dispose of it as green waste.

Another option is to haul the debris away from the site. Debris can be taken to a landfill, or a recycling facility where it can be processed into wood chips or other products.

It is important to note that sometimes different councils have different regulations and requirements for tree debris disposal. Our professionals will be aware of the local regulations and will ensure that the debris is disposed of in compliance with the local council regulations.

In some cases, we may also leave the tree debris on site, if the debris is small and manageable and the client request for us to leave it.

It’s always best to request a quote online and have a chat with our friendly team regarding the disposal of the debris, we can provide the best solution to your specific situation.
