Background
This Plan Change seeks to add 24 additional trees to Appendix 2 - Heritage Trees of the NRMP. These trees have been assessed by Council as justifying protection in the NRMP.
The NRMP has three categories of listed trees: Local, Landscape and Heritage. Heritage Trees receive the highest level of protection under the planning rules, with Local Trees being the least protected. Twelve of the current proposed trees have been assessed as meriting Heritage status, with ten in the Landscape category and two Local.
