Which trees are protected in Murrindindi?
Victoria has no council-wide tree-size rule. Whether you need a planning permit to remove a tree depends on the planning overlays on your specific property — such as a Vegetation Protection Overlay (VPO), Significant Landscape Overlay (SLO) or Environmental Significance Overlay (ESO) — plus any local law for significant or street trees. Check your address on VicPlan (mapshare.vic.gov.au) and your council's planning scheme.
When you may not need approval
- Dead trees and trees that are an imminent risk can often be removed without a permit (council-dependent).
- Properties without a relevant overlay may not need a planning permit — but local laws can still apply.
