Tree Removal New Town

Lenah Valley is part of the City of Hobart, so the same significant tree rules apply. However, properties near the bushland interface may have additional overlays. Many Lenah Valley properties back onto the kunanyi/Mount Wellington reserve, which has its own protections. An arborist can advise on your specific situation.

Regularly dropping branches is a sign the tree may be stressed or in decline. We recommend getting an arborist assessment first. If the tree is on your property, they can recommend pruning or removal. If it is on a neighbour's property or council land, different rules apply. We connect you with arborists who can advise.

Upper Lenah Valley has elevated bushfire risk due to its proximity to kunanyi/Mount Wellington bushland. The Tasmania Fire Service has mapped bushfire-prone areas throughout the municipality. Properties in these zones may have specific vegetation management requirements that affect what tree work is permitted or required.

Yes. The bushland fringe areas of Lenah Valley feature extensive eucalyptus forest. Even in the more suburban parts of New Town, mature gum trees are common in both private gardens and as street trees. Eucalyptus trees require specialised removal due to their size and the risk of limb drop.

For non-emergency work, most arborists in our network can schedule a job within one to two weeks. Emergency tree removal after storms is typically available within 24 hours. The permit process, if required, can add two to four weeks. Get started by requesting quotes through our service.
