Draft Local Planning Policy LPP7 - Tree Retention (Closed)

The Shire is considering a new Local Planning Policy (LPP7) aimed at encouraging the protection of significant trees on private properties.

While the Council has previously invited community feedback, we are now seeking further input from residents before making any final decisions on the draft policy.

This policy aims to ensure that property owners carefully consider the impact of removing large trees, particularly during house demolitions or significant development projects. It also addresses the removal of large trees even when no development work is planned.

We want to emphasise that it is not our intention to infringe upon private property rights. However, the preservation of the Shire’s significant tree canopy is a matter of great importance to our community, and we believe it warrants thoughtful discussion. 

The closing date for submissions is Friday, 22 November 2024.
