Do I need a permit to prune my trees in Hamilton?

Pruning which does not require a pruning specification

A pruning specification is not required to prune trees and shrubs on private land where:

• the tree or shrub is less than 5m in height
• the pruning is to remove branches that are within 1m of a dwelling, formal path or driveway
• the pruning does not alter the overall shape or structure of the tree
• the branches removed are less than 100mm in diameter at the final cut
• the final cut is at a branch collar or appropriate growth point (refer to Section 2.3 of the Manual)

Pruning which does require a pruning specification to be completed

For trees and shrubs greater than 5m in height a Tree Pruning Specification form must be completed and the following criteria must be met:

• the property owners consent has been obtained.
• the Tree Pruning Specification form has been prepared by an AQF Level 3 Arborist in accordance with Australian Standard AS4373 - 2007.
• the pruning work is carried out by a minimum AQF Level 2 Arborist in accordance with the prepared specification and AS4373 - 2007.
• the completed pruning specification form must be retained by the property owner for a period of two years.
• if the tree or shrub is (or forms part of) a Heritage item, known Aboriginal object or place of Aboriginal significance, the completed pruning specification form must be submitted to the City of Newcastle along with a Heritage Minor Works form. Pruning work should not be undertaken until City of Newcastle endorsement has been granted in these instances.

The Newcastle Urban Forest Technical Manual is separated into three parts based on the land on which the tree, shrub or other vegetation is located, and the type of vegetation present. The two parts relevant to tree or vegetation removal on private land are:

• Part A - Private Trees: provides guidance on the management of trees and shrubs located on private land.
• Part C - Native Vegetation Communities: provides guidance on the management of native vegetation communities or assemblages on private land.
