## City of Canterbury Bankstown tree rules (checked 30 September 2026)
- Trees 5 m or taller are protected (any size on heritage, biodiversity-mapped or foreshore land).
- In Canterbury-Bankstown, a private tree generally needs a council permit only if it is 5 m or taller, and trees within 3 m of the wall of your house, fruit trees and a long list of exempt species can be removed without asking. You can also prune up to 10% of a native tree's crown (20% for an exotic) each year without a permit. Trees on heritage, biodiversity-mapped or foreshore land are protected at any size.
- Pruning without a permit: Without a permit you may selectively prune up to 10% of the crown of a native tree, or 20% of an exotic tree, in any 12-month period, as long as no branch removed is over 150 mm in diameter and the work follows AS 4373. Allowed pruning types are deadwooding, crown thinning, selective pruning, reduction pruning, crown lifting, remedial pruning and line clearance. The allowance doesn't apply to threatened species or trees on heritage, foreshore or biodiversity-mapped land.
- Fee: $115 for a tree permit application (1 to 10 trees, 2026/27).
