Which trees are protected in Tenterfield Shire Council?
Tenterfield Shire 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.
Tenterfield Shire Council does NOT have a local Tree Preservation Order with numeric thresholds. Private land tree removal is regulated by NSW state legislation (Native Vegetation Act 2003 / Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016) through Local Land Services approvals rather than by council rules. The DCP requires vegetation clearing to be approved by Local Land Services via a Property Vegetation Plan if not included in a DA. Heritage trees (including Pin Oaks) are individually assessed for structural safety and significance rather than by fixed numeric rules.
When you may not need approval
- Clearing as part of approved Development Application to Council
- Heritage listed trees (protected under heritage law, assessed individually for safety/significance)
