Tree-Felling Licensing & Rules in South Australia

Important regulations and resources to help you hire with confidence in South Australia.

Approval for regulated trees

Regulated trees have a trunk circumference of 1 m or more (measured at 1 m high). Any work that may damage or remove such trees requires development approval. Contact your local council.

Significant tree controls

Significant trees have a trunk circumference of 2 m or more. Removing, killing, ringing, topping or substantially damaging a significant tree constitutes development requiring approval under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016.

Exemptions and emergency works

Minor pruning that does not affect the tree’s health, works in compliance with bushfire management plans, and declared weed removals may be exempt. Emergency works can proceed for safety but must be followed by an application.

Assessment and replacement

Applications must include arborist reports and may require replacement planting or payment into a fund. Councils assess ecological value, health, amenity and species before granting approval.

Safe practices and insurance

Undertake risk assessments, establish exclusion zones, and use qualified personnel and proper equipment. Maintain public liability and workers compensation insurance.
