When and why do we prune park and verge trees?
The City is responsible for pruning all trees in parks and on verges in Cockburn. We follow the Australian Standards for pruning, which determines whether a tree should be pruned or not and the type of pruning we do.
When will the City prune a tree?
Following Australian Standards, the City will prune a tree if it:
- Improves the safety, structure and health of the tree
- Provides clearance for people moving below
- Prevents branches from overhanging a property boundary and park infrastructure
- Maintains safe clearance zones from powerlines
- Maintains a clear line of sight for vehicles and cyclists.
The City will not prune trees due to allergies experienced by residents, if the tree is dropping leaves or nuts or it is shading solar panels.
We are lucky to have many beautiful trees in Cockburn, including the deciduous kind that drop leaves in autumn to conserve resources and stop them from being blown over in windy weather. If you have these trees around your property, remember you can compost or mulch the fallen leaves, or put them in your green bin for collection on bin day.For more on verge tree pruning and planting. |
