## City of Ryde tree rules (checked 30 September 2026)
- Trees 4 m or taller, or with a trunk 150 mm or more across at 1.4 m, are protected.
- In Ryde all trees and vegetation are protected, so you need a Tree Management permit from Council to prune or remove a tree unless it falls under an exemption. The main exemptions are small trees (under 4 m tall or with a trunk under 150 mm at 1.4 m), light pruning (under 10% of the crown in 12 months, branches under 60 mm), trees within 3 m of the house, Council's exempt species and declared weeds.
- Pruning without a permit: Without a permit you may remove deadwood or prune less than 10% of the live crown in any 12-month period, cutting only branches under 60 mm in diameter, as long as the branches have no hollows used by native animals and the work follows AS 4373. Council's Tree Pruning Guide says all pruning must be done by an arborist with at least AQF Level 3. Larger pruning needs a permit.
- Fee: $94 for a residential application (one tree, 2026/27).
