The amendment proposes to modify Schedule A of Local Planning Scheme No. 3 by
deleting Clause 61(1)(q) “the removal of a tree unless it is identified on the significant
tree register” as an exemption for development approval. The deletion of this provision
would allow Draft Local Planning Policy 43: Greening- Tree Preservation on Private
Property (LPP43) to take effect once finalised following public consultation. The LPP43
will introduce broader tree protection mechanisms for trees on private land.
