Sunshine Coast Council have strict guidelines which must be adhered to when considering the removal of trees and vegetation on your property. Certain vegetation and parcels of land are protected and cannot be removed without council approval.
We will advise you if council approval is required prior to works being undertaken. Monkey Business Tree Service will not remove any protected vegetation without approval.
For more information click here to visit the Sunshine Coast Council Website.
To remove protected vegetation you must complete the IDAS Form 1 (Development Application, which we have linked for you below) and submit to Sunshine Coast Council via email mail@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

We understand it can be very daunting when completing Sunshine Coast Council vegetation removal applications and therefore we are happy to provide assistance or complete and lodge on behalf of our clients as part of our service.
Trees that are located on property boundaries are subject to the Queensland Government’s Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act 2011.
The Act states that proper care and maintenance of a tree is the responsibility tree owner. The Act provides choices for neighbour’s on how to resolve tree issues such as overhanging branches. According to the Act, it is up to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) to deal with these issues.
