Our OC is considering applying to local council to remove a healthy tree subject to the council’s tree preservation order due to the height and species. We are in the Sydney area (not regional). The cost we have been quoted is about $6,000.00. We have not made any application to council at this stage because we don’t want a rejection. We are trying to discover under what legal mechanism the council has discretion to diverge from the Land and Environment legislation under which they appear to be bound. There is no danger or disease.
Can anyone share their experience on this subject. Thank you.
