16 June 2026

Following community feedback, a draft Tree Retention Policy will be considered by Council in June 2026.

Following community engagement in late 2024, Council noted the strong level of community interest in better managing the loss of trees on private land and requested that the CEO prepare a draft Local Planning Policy to support the retention of mature trees while enabling reasonable development. 

A report is now being presented to the June 2026 Ordinary Meeting of Council seeking endorsement of a draft Local Planning Policy - Regulated Trees on Private Land for the purpose of public advertising. If endorsed by Council, the draft policy will be released for public comment.
