Can I Remove a Dangerous Tree on the Mornington Peninsula Without Council Approval?
Yes, but only where the risk is immediate and cannot reasonably wait for Council approval.
Emergency removal may proceed where:
- The tree presents an immediate risk to people or property
- Structural failure is active or imminent
- The situation cannot wait for Council permit assessment
If a tree can be safely retained until formal assessment, Council approval is required before removal.
A Level 5 Arborist Report should be prepared as soon as practicable to document:
- Tree condition
- Failure mechanism
- Justification for removal
- Compliance with Council requirements
What Is Considered Emergency Tree Removal?
- Structural trunk split or active failure
- Root plate lifting or sudden lean
- Major limb failure over a dwelling, road or accessway
- Storm-damaged trees with instability
- Vehicle or impact damage affecting structure
If the tree can remain safely until assessment, it is not considered an emergency.
All emergency situations must involve active or imminent failure risk.
