The City of Perth states that a July 2025 State Administrative Tribunal decision determined that tree removal in an urban context constitutes development under WA planning law, meaning removing or damaging a tree on private land can require development approval. The City acknowledges its current planning framework is not clear on exactly when approval is required, and has drafted a Tree Retention on Private Property Local Planning Policy for the Crawley-Nedlands neighbourhood, under public consultation in 2026. The draft policy defines regulated trees by minimum size criteria (8 metres height, 6 metre canopy diameter or 1.5 metre trunk circumference at 1.4 metres) and exempts maintenance pruning and urgent safety removals. Until a policy is finalised, check with the City before removing established trees.
Official City of Perth tree removal guidance →Western Australia has no state-wide instrument protecting individual trees on private urban land; protection is council-level, with a growing number of local governments (for example South Perth, Victoria Park, Nedlands and Cockburn) adopting local planning policies and scheme amendments under the Planning and Development Act 2005 that require development approval before removing larger established trees. Separately, clearing native vegetation anywhere in WA is regulated state-wide under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and the Clearing of Native Vegetation Regulations 2004.
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.

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.
