Some trees in Rochester are protected, and significant pruning may need approval from Campaspe Shire Council, particularly for established street trees or trees covered by a local planning overlay. We can let you know during the quote whether your tree is likely affected and point you to the right council process. It is always worth checking before any major work begins.
