Why Ringwood Properties Need a Local Arborist
Ringwood is within the City of Maroondah, which has vegetation protection provisions in its planning scheme. Trees meeting certain size thresholds are protected, and council approval is needed before removal or significant pruning.
Maroondah Council has been consistent in enforcing its tree protection controls, particularly as Ringwood undergoes increased development. We submit arborist reports to Maroondah regularly and know how to present the information their planning team needs.
Ringwood's tree stock includes established native species from the area's pre-development landscape alongside planted exotics and street trees. As blocks are subdivided and developed, trees that once had plenty of space are now competing with buildings, driveways, and underground services. Professional assessment helps determine what can stay, what needs management, and what should go.

Maroondah Council Tree Regulations
Do You Need a Permit to Remove a Tree in Ringwood?
Under the City of Maroondah's planning scheme, a permit is generally required to remove, destroy, or lop any tree with a trunk circumference of 500mm or more at 1m above ground. Vegetation protection overlays in some parts of Ringwood have stricter controls. Fines for unauthorised removal apply.
Development and Subdivision Applications
With increasing development activity in Ringwood, council requires arborist assessments as part of most planning permit applications. Reports must identify all trees on and adjacent to the site, assess their retention value, and include tree protection measures during construction. MAS prepares these reports regularly.
Emergency Tree Removal
Trees that have fallen or pose immediate danger can be removed under emergency provisions without a permit. Photograph the tree before removal and notify council afterwards. MAS handles emergency callouts across Ringwood and surrounding suburbs.
