Can you cut a tree down on your own property in Queensland?
In Queensland, whether you can remove a tree on your own property depends on your local council's rules and whether the tree is protected under local laws. In general, you cannot remove protected trees, such as bunya pines, hoop pines, certain gum trees, and other significant species, without a permit. Rules vary between Brisbane City Council, Gold Coast City Council and Logan City Council, so it's important to check before proceeding. Our arborists are up to date with local council regulations and can advise you on what approvals may be required.
What trees are protected in QLD?
In Queensland, a number of tree species are protected and cannot be removed without a council permit. These commonly include bunya pines, hoop pines, macadamia trees, lemon myrtle, weeping paperbark, jacaranda and many eucalyptus species. Trees may also be protected based on their size, age or location, for example, trees within a designated protection zone or near waterways. The specific list varies by council area, so we always recommend checking with your local council or calling our team for guidance before removing any tree.
Can I legally remove trees on my property in Queensland?
Yes, in many cases you can legally remove trees on your own property in Queensland, but there are important restrictions. If the tree is not a protected species and does not fall under any exemptions related to size, location or heritage listing, removal is generally permitted. However, councils across South East Queensland, including Brisbane, Gold Coast and Logan, have their own vegetation protection rules, and some trees will require a development approval before removal. There are also exemptions that may apply, such as trees posing an immediate safety risk. We recommend consulting your local council or speaking with one of our qualified arborists before proceeding.
How long does it take to cut down a tree?
The time it takes to cut down a tree depends on its size, species, location and the complexity of the job. A small to medium tree in an accessible location can often be removed in a couple of hours, while a large tree near structures or in a confined space may take a full day or more.
