Do You Need a Permit for Tree Removal in Merricks?
Tree removal in Merricks is regulated by the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Because the area is situated within the Green Wedge and features highly significant native vegetation, many properties are subject to strict Vegetation Protection Overlays (VPO) or Significant Landscape Overlays (SLO) which protect the local canopy.
During your free inspection, our qualified arborists will assess the size, species, and health of your tree to advise you on the exact Mornington Peninsula Shire regulations. If a permit is required, we can provide the necessary arborist reporting to ensure a smooth and hassle free application process to help you avoid unexpected council fines.
