Russell Lea is assessed against City of Canada Bay requirements where relevant, along with the site address, tree location, and reason for the report.
Application or project trigger
Share any council request, DA condition, builder request, strata instruction, safety concern, or neighbour issue that explains why the report is needed.

Match the service to the outcome
Impact and protection scope
Council tree reports for protected trees in established residential areas. Tree impact assessments and tree protection plans are the main pathways when proposed works may affect retained or neighbouring trees.
Council application support
A council tree report is usually the clearest fit when evidence is needed for pruning, removal, or tree works on private land.
Development or construction support
A tree impact assessment or tree protection plan is better suited when works may affect retained trees, neighbouring trees, TPZs, or SRZs.
Condition, risk, or management support
Risk assessments, structure testing, and management plans can support safety decisions, diagnostic questions, strata planning, and staged maintenance.
Prepare useful attachments
Photos and site notes
Clear photos, the number of trees, access notes, and the location of each tree help confirm whether the scope is straightforward or complex.
Plans or correspondence
Upload survey plans, architectural drawings, council letters, DA conditions, or strata correspondence if they relate to the tree assessment.
Timing constraints
Mention any council, builder, strata, or settlement deadline so inspection and report timing can be scoped realistically.

City of Canada Bay
Verified 21 May 2026
City of Canada Bay's official tree guidance identifies when private-land tree work needs a permit, development consent, or documented exemption before pruning or removal.
Report context
- Canada Bay says removal must always have Council approval unless a listed exempt species applies.
- Report evidence should identify whether the tree is TPO-protected, exempt species, or part of a development-related assessment.
- Development applications should identify protected trees and any proposed pruning/removal or retention measures.
Verified council checks
- Trees are protected by the Tree Preservation Order if height is 4m or more, trunk girth exceeds 500mm at any point, or branches/canopy spread exceeds 3m.
- Canada Bay says removal must always have Council approval unless a listed exempt species applies.
- Exempt species can be pruned or removed without approval; pruning up to 10% of canopy in a 12-month period is allowed without approval.
