Tree Risk Management Plan 2023-2027

961-Tree Risk Tile.jpg

Council manages vast numbers of trees over a large area and within many varied landscapes.

Trees may naturally pose some level of risk to nearby people, structures and assets, but this risk is typically minimal and is far outweighed by the environmental, social and economic benefits of the tree.

The sheer quantity of trees across the municipality prohibits an individual tree assessment approach. The time involved to inspect and then program works would be extensive and prohibitively expensive for Council.

As such, Council has developed a Tree Risk Management Plan to:

  • Establish a management system for the inspection and treatment of trees; and
  • Set inspections intervals and response times for dealing with any issue relating to trees
