Tree removal permits in Mandurah

The City of Mandurah protects trees in what it calls Tree Approval Areas. They take in land near waterways, rural zones, some residential zones and lots greater than 4,000m2. Inside one, the City's written permission is needed to remove, prune or alter vegetation.

You can check an address on the City's online mapping, in the Tree Approval layer of the Town Planning module, or ring the City. Before works start, the City also wants landowners to check for sensitive habitat, because a threatened species can mean a DBCA permit as well.

Outside those areas, don't assume a tree can simply go. Mandurah keeps a Significant Tree Register, and WA's native vegetation clearing rules still apply. Our WA permits page explains the state side.

Tree removal in Mandurah: what's local

Estuary and canals

Central Mandurah sits on the Mandurah Estuary, the outlet of the Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary. Halls Head, Dudley Park and Wannanup were built around canals, and land near waterways is one of the Tree Approval Area triggers.

Banksias on the dunes

Banksia low woodlands grow on the coastal dunes, with eucalypt woodland further inland. Banksias are among the many south-west plants susceptible to Phytophthora dieback, so a banksia dying back deserves a proper diagnosis.

The shot-hole borer

In September 2026 the City told residents to know the signs of the polyphagous shot-hole borer: small round holes, sawdust-like frass and gumming on the bark. See tree pests and diseases, and check DPIRD's current quarantine map before moving wood.

Trees and power lines in Mandurah

Treat any fallen or damaged line as live and stay at least 8 metres clear. Call Western Power, or 000 first if anyone's hurt or something's burning. For serious storm damage to the house that you can't make safe, call the SES.

Hiring an arborist in Mandurah

Open the Tree Approval layer before you ring an arborist, and save a screenshot of what it shows for your lot. If you're inside an area, get the City's written permission first, even for a heavy prune. If the problem is a neighbour's tree, the City treats that as a civil matter, so a calm conversation and our neighbours' trees guide come before anything else.

Tree removal and tree lopping in Mandurah: common questions

Do I need permission to prune a tree in Mandurah?

If the property is in a Tree Approval Area, yes. The City wants written permission to remove, prune or alter vegetation there. Check the Tree Approval layer on the City's mapping or call the City.

Will the City remove a street tree that drops leaves on my roof?

Not if it's healthy. The City of Mandurah doesn't remove healthy street trees for leaf litter, views or looks. It considers danger, damage to infrastructure, blocked sight lines and weed species.

Can I nominate a tree for Mandurah's register?

Yes. Anyone can nominate a tree, on public or private land, for its historical, cultural, social, botanical or environmental value. A working group assesses it and the Council gives final approval. Our significant trees guide explains registers like this one.
