Redland City Council Tree Removal Approval & Useful Links
If you are considering removing or trimming a tree on your property in Redlands, it is important to check whether Council approval is required before any work begins.
Depending on your property, trees and vegetation may be protected by the Redland City
Plan, environmental overlays, development approval conditions, covenants or a Vegetation Protection Order.
Use the official Redland City Council links below to check the requirements for your property.

Council and Street Trees
If the tree is on a footpath, road reserve, park or other Council-controlled land, do not arrange removal or pruning yourself. Requests concerning Council trees can be made through Redland City Council.
Check if Planning Approval is Required
Some vegetation clearing may require planning approval. You can check Council's planning approval information here.
Operational Works and Vegetation Clearing
For vegetation clearing that falls under Operational Works requirements, Council provides further information about applications and supporting documentation here.
Before You Remove a Tree
Not every tree on private property requires Council approval to be removed. However, restrictions can apply depending on the property, environmental overlays, vegetation protection orders, covenants and previous development approval conditions.
For protected vegetation considered hazardous, Redland City Council may require supporting documentation such as a tree assessment report from a suitably qualified arborist.
If you are unsure, check your property through Red-e-map and the Trees on Private Property information above before arranging tree removal.
