Tree Regulations in Playford

Tree removal in Playford is managed by the City of Playford. 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 Playford, 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.
