Do I Need a Permit in Lilydale?
Lilydale is in the Yarra Ranges Council. Yarra Ranges requires a planning permit to remove a tree from private property unless an exemption applies. In bushfire-prone areas, the state's 10/30 rule lets you clear vegetation within 10 m of an existing house, and anything except trees within 30 m, without a permit, subject to conditions.
The bushfire exemptions have conditions, so we check your property's overlays and exemptions before we quote and won't start until it's clear.

Do you clean up and take the green waste away?
