Do I Need a Permit in Templestowe Lower?
Templestowe Lower is in the Manningham Council. Manningham applies the statewide canopy tree rules (Clause 52.37): a tree over 5 m tall, with a trunk circumference over 0.5 m at 1.4 m above ground and a canopy at least 4 m wide. On a lot with an existing house, a permit is generally needed for a canopy tree whose trunk is within 6 m of the street frontage or 4.5 m of the rear boundary. Dead trees, weed species, maintenance pruning and emergency works are exempt.
Most backyard trees in the middle of a Manningham block can be removed without a permit, but front-yard and rear-boundary trees often can't. We'll check where the trunk sits before you book.
