Tree Regulations in Salisbury

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

Yes. River Red Gums along the Little Para River corridor are significant vegetation and are protected under both significant tree legislation and riparian vegetation provisions. These trees cannot be removed without appropriate approvals. If a River Red Gum on your property near the waterway needs work, engage an arborist to assess and guide the approval process.
If the pine tree has a trunk circumference of 2 metres or more at 1 metre above ground, it is classified as a significant tree and requires development approval for removal.
