Following Council Requirements

Orange City Council

Country Tree Services proudly works in three local government areas: Orange, Cabonne, and Blayney. We use industry best practices and follow all council requirements.

Orange City Council

Tree protection measures apply to all private and public land within the Orange City Council area. These measures prohibit the pruning, cutting down, lopping, topping, ringbarking, removal, or willful destruction of any tree with a trunk size greater than 300mm at 1.4m height above ground level.

The council encourages alternatives to tree removal at all times.

To minimise any delay on receiving a decision about your application, please ensure you submit all relevant information.

Blayney Shire Council

Council maintains and enhances the character of Blayney and surrounding villages through the protection of street trees and shrubs.

Different rules apply to trees and shrubs on private property as opposed to those on public land.

If a tree or shrub is on the footpath outside a property boundary or on a reserve it is on public land.

Trees within boundaries of property are considered private property and as such are not affected by this policy.

Removal of trees on public land can only be granted by council unless required for safety reasons, in which case inspection by a council officer is still required for approval to remove.
