A canopy tree is often defined as exceeding 5 m in height, having a trunk circumference greater than 0.5 m measured at 1.4 m above ground, and a canopy diameter of at least 4 m. Criteria vary between councils.

Removal of native vegetation may trigger permits under state-wide or local overlays, including for habitat protection or biodiversity conservation. Consult council and the Department of Transport and Planning.
