Permit to Plant or Interfere with Vegetation - City of Melbourne - Victoria

This permit is required to plant or interfere with vegetation on a nature strip or council land.

For example, you will require council permission to plant flowers or shrubs, construct a garden bed on a nature strip, or to prune, trim, lop or uproot trees.

Your council may have specific restrictions on interference with significant trees - including undertaking works nearby. Significant trees have cultural, historical, or horticultural significance, have large trunk diameter, or form part of a canopy.

Please consult the responsible council for more information regarding eligibility requirements.
