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 to us. 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
  • fallen branches
  • a tree that looks unsafe
  • a tree where pests are present
  • a tree touching power lines.
