Tree removal in Kedron: what's local

The brook

Council says Kedron Brook runs through 14 suburbs from the D'Aguilar Range to Moreton Bay, linking more than 30 parks, reserves and sports fields. Its draft 20-year vision adds more trees for cooler, leafier neighbourhoods.

Floods are planned for

In council's own words, it can't prevent flooding along the brook but can plan for it. Its online Flood Awareness Map shows the chance of flooding for your address, which helps when a tree on low ground starts to lean.

Street trees need a permit

Council protects, plants and maintains street trees. Owners need a permit even for minor pruning on the street tree directly outside their property.

Waterway vegetation

Brisbane's local law protects waterway and wetland vegetation, and its corridors match City Plan 2014's overlay maps. A yard backing onto the brook is the first place that applies.

Questions to ask an arborist in Kedron

  • Is this tree on the protected vegetation report, and in which category?
  • Will you prune to AS 4373-2007, or are you proposing to lop it?
  • If it's coming out, how will it come down over the fence and next door's yard?
  • Is the stump included, and what about roots near the drains?
  • Who applies for any permit, and who meets its conditions?

Hiring an arborist in Kedron

We'd prune rather than remove where a tree is healthy, because council's direction for the brook is more shade, not less. If a tree has to go, we'd put the protected vegetation report and the arborist's written reasons side by side, so any application has what council needs.

Tree removal and tree lopping in Kedron: common questions

Can I prune the street tree over my driveway?

Only with a permit. Brisbane City Council says owners need one for minor pruning of the street tree outside their property. For anything bigger, request a council assessment online.

Is a tree lopper different from an arborist?

Often it's the same business under a different search term. What matters is the cut: AS 4373-2007 lists lopping and topping as unacceptable, and Brisbane's local law counts lopping a protected tree as interfering with it. See lopping vs pruning.
