Do I Need a Permit in Mont Albert?
Mont Albert is in the Whitehorse City Council. Every residential area in Whitehorse now has some tree protection. Citywide, the statewide canopy-tree rule (Clause 52.37) requires a permit to remove or lop a tree over 5 m tall with a canopy at least 4 m wide if it's within 6 m of the front boundary or 4.5 m of the rear boundary (dead trees are exempt). In the Significant Landscape Overlay areas, mostly around Blackburn plus parts of Mitcham, Nunawading and Vermont, any tree with a single trunk 50 cm or more around at 1 m high needs a permit to remove or lop, wherever it is on the block. Vegetation Protection Overlays also protect individually listed trees.
We look up the overlay on your property before we quote, so you know up front whether a permit is needed.
