Default Ref 22997127 BCC record of complaint

Part 2


I just got off the phone with Kim (ccc48) from Brisbane City Council after doing a Protected Vegetation search and guess what?

The entire property has protection, one of the toughest in fact, SLT (significant landscape tree), toward the top of this link here's what it says.

You can carry out the following work on protected vegetation without a permit:

1. Tree pruning (except a Significant Landscape Tree, a tree protected by an individual tree vegetation protection order and a heritage tree).
You must not remove more than 20% of the tree's canopy in any 12-month period or leave the tree lopsided. All tree pruning must conform to Australian Standard 4373 : 1996 Pruning of Amenity Trees. You can buy a copy of this standard from Standards Australia.
So, both the customer and the "arborist" are in a lot of hot water. I have no pity, I hope they get their azzes fined.

And any other profession would deregister such malpractitioners
