Tree rules in Sadliers Crossing

Compiled from the council's published rules and cross-checked. Always confirm with the council.
Which trees are protected in Ipswich?
Trees about 40cm trunk (diameter at 1.3m height) or larger are generally protected and need approval.
Ipswich uses a Vegetation Protection Order system (Local Law No. 49) rather than blanket tree protection by size. Specific trees of heritage, ecological, historical or cultural significance are protected via VPO. Trees in mapped overlays (Biodiversity Overlay, Waterways/Wetlands Overlay) also require approval. The 40cm trunk diameter threshold at 1.3m height is widely referenced by arborist services but could not be confirmed in accessible official council documents due to PDF blocking. Council controls private tree removal via VPOs and overlay restrictions. Planning Scheme updated 2025. Confirm exact requirements with council.
When you may not need approval
- Dead trees
- Trees within 3 metres of approved structures (pools, sheds, granny flats)
- Trees necessary for boundary fencing or fire break construction
