In the City of Adelaide, you must obtain development approval before undertaking any tree-damaging activity, including removal or significant pruning, to a regulated or significant tree on your own property, as this is classed as development under South Australia's planning system. Approved works are confirmed through a Decision Notification Form issued with the approval. Council does not otherwise investigate tree issues on private property, so trees that are not regulated or significant are generally a matter for the owner.
Official City of Adelaide tree removal guidance →South Australia protects regulated and significant trees state-wide under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 and the Planning and Design Code, administered through PlanSA, in metropolitan Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and parts of the Mount Barker council area. Reforms that took effect in 2024 lowered the protection thresholds: a regulated tree has a trunk circumference of 1 metre or more measured 1 metre above ground, and a significant tree 2 metres or more.
A qualified arborist quoting your job will usually know whether your tree is exempt, permit-dependent or urgent, and many handle the council paperwork as part of the quote.

Storm damaged a big pine tree in our backyard. All three arborists were fully insured and provided detailed quotes. The removal was done safely with a crane and they even helped with council paperwork. Highly recommend!

Needed multiple trees removed before building an extension. The arborist handled council permits, removed 4 trees and ground all stumps in one day. Very professional service from start to finish.
