Tree removal approval in Forrest: ACT Government
Forrest sits in the ACT Government area
The ACT has no local councils; tree protection on leased (private) land is regulated territory-wide under the Urban Forest Act 2023, administered by ACT City Services. Trees can be protected as regulated or registered trees, and it is an offence to remove, lop, do major pruning or groundwork on a protected tree without approval through a tree activity application. Applications are assessed on merit, and where removal of a protected tree is approved the applicant is generally required to make a canopy contribution to the ACT Government. Registered trees on the ACT Tree Register have additional protection.
Official ACT Government tree removal guidance →How it works in ACT
The ACT protects trees territory-wide under the Urban Forest Act 2023, which replaced the Tree Protection Act 2005 on 1 January 2024 and covers all trees on public land plus 'protected trees' on private land. Approvals are handled by the ACT Government (City Services) through tree activity applications rather than by a council.
A qualified arborist quoting your job will usually know whether your tree is exempt, permit-dependent or urgent, and many handle the council paperwork as part of the quote.
