INVITATION TO COMMENT - DRAFT LOCAL PLANNING POLICY 3.25: TREE RETENTION
Notice is hereby given that the Town of Cambridge has prepared and is seeking public comment on draft Local Planning Policy 3.25: Tree Retention.
The draft Policy seeks to address the declining tree canopy by introducing planning controls to regulate the removing or damaging of ‘significant’ trees on private land in residential areas, which meet a certain criteria, or in certain circumstances. The draft Policy will require owners to obtain development approval from the Town, prior to removing or carrying out ‘tree-damaging activity’ to ‘significant’ trees. The development approval process will ensure proposals to remove or damage ‘significant’ trees are assessed appropriately and alternative options to retain these trees are considered.
To view the draft Policy, FAQ’s, lodge a submission, or for more information on the criteria and definitions, please visit the Town's website, or the Town of Cambridge Administration Building, 1 Bold Park Drive, Floreat, during business hours.
Submissions on the draft Policy should include the policy number and title, your full name, email and relevant address. Submissions may be lodged online via the Town's website, by email to mail@cambridge.wa.gov.au, or in writing to 1 Bold Park Drive, FLOREAT WA 6014, and are to reach the Town by 5:00pm Monday 21st October 2024.
