Website Disclaimer
Information published on this website is general in nature and is not a substitute for a site-specific arboricultural assessment.
General Information Only
The information on this website is provided for general guidance about arboricultural reporting, tree approvals and development tree requirements in the Liverpool Local Government Area. It does not take account of the circumstances of any particular tree, property or project, and it is not arboricultural, planning or legal advice.
Council Requirements Can Change
References to Liverpool City Council policies, tree definitions, exemptions and development requirements reflect our understanding of the Council material available at the time of writing. Council policies, technical guidelines and planning controls can be amended. Before acting on anything published here, confirm the current and property-specific requirements with Liverpool City Council or arrange a site assessment with one of our Consulting Arborists.
No Guarantee of Outcome
Whether approval is required, and whether an application succeeds, depends on the tree, the site, the proposed work and the assessment carried out by the consent authority. Nothing on this website is a Council approval, an exemption or an assurance of a particular outcome.
Site-Specific Assessment
Tree condition, risk and development impacts can only be assessed properly on site. Guidance on this website is not a substitute for an inspection by an AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborist, and should not be relied on as the basis for removing, pruning or retaining a tree.
External Links
This website links to Liverpool City Council and NSW Government pages for reference. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or availability.
Case Studies and Examples
Case studies and examples describe past assessments and are included to illustrate the type of work involved. They are not a prediction of the outcome of any other matter.
