Trees in a dangerous condition

You can report a tree to us that you feel is an immediate hazard to life or property, such as:

  • Fallen trees
  • Newly leaning trees
  • Dead or diseased trees (please describe the suspected disease)
  • Broken branches about to fall
  • New movement at the base of a tree
  • Vandalised trees (pulled out or burnt)

If instead the tree does not pose an immediate hazard, you can request works to council-owned trees to us.
