Report a tree issue

Trees planted on a street

If you see trees or branches that are unsafe, unhealthy or fallen, contact us.

If you're concerned that a tree on a nature strip or in a public park or public garden is unhealthy or unsafe, you can report it. We will arrange for the scene to be inspected and cleaned as soon as possible.

An unhealthy or unsafe tree could include:

  • a fallen tree or large branch on a road, nature strip or in a park
  • a tree with dead branches within its canopy
  • a tree with snapped or detached branches hanging within its canopy
  • a tree that has splits or cracks in the trunk or branches
  • a tree where pests are present, such as borers or fungal growths
  • a tree touching power lines.
