Suffolk Park Tree Conditions & Council Considerations
Suffolk Park is part of Byron Shire and is located within an area of high environmental and ecological value, with native vegetation, coastal bushland and wildlife habitat throughout the region. Because of this, tree removal and pruning in Suffolk Park is regulated under Byron Shire Council’s Development Control Plan (DCP).
In many cases, a Tree Removal Permit is required before pruning or removing native vegetation. However, specific exemptions do apply, including (but not limited to):
Native vegetation that Council is satisfied is dead or poses an unacceptable risk to life or property, and is not required as habitat
Certain trees located within 3 metres of a lawfully approved dwelling, unless they are threatened species, koala habitat trees, or within mapped sensitive areas
Non-native or invasive species listed by Council
Vegetation removal carried out under approved Vegetation Management or Biodiversity Management Plans
Some situations, such as dead or dangerous trees, may still require supporting documentation, including an arborist report prepared by a suitably qualified arborist, even where an exemption applies.
Because exemptions and permit requirements can vary depending on tree species, size, zoning and environmental overlays, we always recommend confirming requirements before any work begins.
If you are ever unsure whether council approval or an exemption applies to your Suffolk Park property, you should contact Byron Shire Council directly for confirmation.
