Tree and Branch Enquiry

Street Tree Pruning Program

Council inspects and prunes nature strip trees every two years to ensure that:

  • trees are clear of the overhead electric wires
  • people are safe to use the footpaths without having to worry about the danger of low-hanging branches
  • traffic is safe to use the roadway without having to worry about the danger of low branches
  • they remove deadwood from trees 
  • they shape young trees.

Council has divided the municipality into 13 blocks. Council then prunes each block worked at a certain time over the two-year cycle.
