Tree Regulations in Charles Sturt

Tree removal in Charles Sturt is managed by the City of Charles Sturt. Under South Australia's Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016, trees with a trunk circumference of 2 metres or more measured at 1 metre above natural ground level are classified as significant trees and require development approval before removal.

To apply for removal of a significant tree, you will need to lodge a development application with the City of Charles Sturt, supported by an arborist report from a qualified arborist. The report must document the tree's condition, the reason for removal, and demonstrate that removal is reasonable in the circumstances.

Tree Removal FAQs — Charles Sturt

The most common tree removals in Charles Sturt include ageing and declining eucalypts in established suburbs like Woodville and Findon, palm trees (Cocos Palms and Phoenix Palms) throughout the area, and dead or storm-damaged trees.

Tree removal in Charles Sturt typically costs $400 to $4,500 depending on tree size, species and access.

Palm removal ranges from $300 to $2,500 depending on height and species.
Yes. Coastal trees in Henley Beach, West Beach and Grange are exposed to salt-laden winds that can affect tree health and stability. Norfolk Island Pines along the coast are often council-managed. Trees on private coastal properties may need salt-tolerant species for replacement. Discuss coastal conditions with your arborist.
Shade from trees on your property can be managed through pruning or removal, subject to significant tree regulations. If the shading tree is on a neighbour’s property, your options are more limited — you can trim branches to the boundary but cannot compel your neighbour to remove their tree. South Australia does not currently have specific solar access legislation.
