General tree pruning request

Submit a request to have a tree pruned.

There are a number of reasons why you may need to have a street tree pruned. These include:

• branches overhanging a property
• branches overhanging the roadway
• branches overhanging the footpath
• sight line issues/can't see past the tree
• dropped branch (please refer to the Branch Pick-up page).

If branches or leaves are touching powerlines or growing through powerlines, please complete the powerline pruning request.

Please note: Pruning will not be undertaken to reduce garden shading, improve television reception or to provide or improve views.

Overhanging branches from private trees or shrubs

The City will respond to overhanging branches from private trees or shrubs if they are causing a hazard or obstruction when overhanging the verge, footpath or roadway. To lodge a request visit the Overhanging branches from private trees page.
