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 West Torrens, supported by an arborist report from a qualified arborist.
