Which trees are protected in Dubbo Regional Council?
Dubbo Regional Council generally does not require council approval to remove trees on private property — its tree controls don't apply to private land. Other laws (native vegetation, heritage, threatened species) may still apply, so confirm with the council.
Dubbo Regional Council decided 25 February 2025 NOT to proceed with Tree Preservation Order for private land. Only public (council-owned) land trees are protected via TPO and Significant Tree Register. Private land: no protection required, no permit needed. Trees may be voluntarily listed on Significant Tree Register for heritage/cultural significance but this is optional, not regulatory.
