HERITAGE ACT 2004 - SECT 3B Registration of urban tree

HERITAGE ACT 2004 - SECT 3B

Registration of urban tree

    (1)     This section applies if—

        (a)     an urban tree forms part of a place; and

        (b)     the council decides to register the place.

    (2)     The council may also register the tree.

    (3)     To remove any doubt, an urban tree must not be registered under this Act unless the tree forms part of a place that is registered.

    (4)     In this section:

"urban forest"—see the Urban Forest Act 2023

, section 7.

"urban tree" means a tree in the urban forest.

Note     In addition to the protections under this Act, the Urban Forest Act 2023

also protects trees of heritage significance, including Aboriginal cultural trees, in the urban forest (see that Act

, pt 3 and pt 4).
