What we do to council owned trees
- Remove dead, dying or diseased trees
- Prune tree branches touching a property as agreed per individual inspection
- Prune tree branches that are causing an obstruction to highway signs, traffic lights or lamp columns
- Arrange for a memorial tree to be planted (for an agreed fee) in a local park. The memorial tree will include a commemorative plaque

- Remove or prune a tree that may be causing satellite reception difficulties.
