The cities below are the ones with their own page so far. A tree job can still come from anywhere in Australia, page or no page, because the form asks for your postcode either way.

Why the state you're in matters

Tree rules are set by each state and territory, then council by council, and they don't carry across a border. NSW has its 10/50 bushfire clearing rule, while Victoria has a separate 10/30 rule. Even the tape measure moves: the ACT measures a trunk 1.4 metres up, South Australia 1 metre above the ground.

Each state page sums up its rules and links the full permit page, or go straight to tree removal permits for every state and council we've covered.

Before you call anyone

If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 000 first. Stay well back from a tree touching a line and keep others away, because each network sets its own safe distance. The SES takes storm calls in every state and territory. Not sure which network you're on? It's on your power bill.
