Heres a link to their new Local Law.

This area is one of the leafier municipalities in Melbourne but one of the last to introduce a Tree Permit Local Law. Generally the people here value and look after their trees so mass removal/topping has not been such a big problem.

Some weaknesses in this LL are that unless the tree is on their List Of Significant Trees http://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/env...gnificanttrees it can still be pruned (lopped) however anyone wants. It should have at least included pruning to Aust Standards if over the size criteria.
