Website Disclaimer
The Council, permit and tree information on this website is general in nature. Here is what that means.
Last updated 19 September 2026.
General information only
Everything published on this website is general information intended to help property owners, builders and developers understand how tree matters are commonly handled in the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Government Area. It is not a substitute for a site-specific arboricultural assessment, and it is not legal or planning advice.
Council information and currency
References on this site to Canterbury-Bankstown Council's Tree Management Order, Chapter 2.3 of the Canterbury-Bankstown Development Control Plan, exempt species, height and dwelling exemptions, pruning limits, replacement planting and Development Application requirements were verified against Council's published information on 3 September 2026. Council requirements can change at any time, and other controls may apply to a particular property. Always confirm the current requirements with Canterbury-Bankstown Council before acting.
No arborist or client relationship
Reading this website does not create a professional relationship between you and Canterbury-Bankstown Tree Permit Services. Whether a tree is protected, whether an exemption applies, and what arboricultural evidence is required can only be established by assessing the individual tree, property and proposed works.
Case studies
The case studies published on this site are based on real arboricultural assessments completed within the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Government Area. They are provided to illustrate how particular arboricultural questions were approached. Outcomes depend entirely on the circumstances of each matter and should not be taken as an indication of the result in any other case.
Accuracy
We take care to keep this website accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is free of errors or omissions, or that it reflects the most recent Council position at the time you read it.
External links
Links to Council pages, standards bodies and other external websites are provided for convenience. We do not control the content of those sites and are not responsible for it.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the general information published on this website. Nothing here excludes, restricts or modifies any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
