Tree removal or tree works within the Vegetation Protection Overlay (VPO)
A planning permit (https://www.monash.vic.gov.au/Building-Planning/Planning/How-to-apply-for-a-Planning-Permit) is required to remove or destroy any vegetation that:
- Hasa trunk circumference greater than 500mm (160mm diameter) at 1200mm above ground level, and
- Is higher than 10 metres
It is the responsibility of the land owner to ensure that either a Planning Permit is applied for, or that the exemptions from the requirement to obtain a Planning Permit are satisfied.
