Aussie rules

[Lee Winger]

Laws like this would help weed out the cowboy element of the UK arb industry, this is the kind of thing the AA should be pushing for imo..

 

It would/should also stop colleges churning out arb workers like a conveyer system.. http://www.wyongsc.nsw.gov.au/development/dcps/dcp_14/dcp_14_02.html

 

And imo it would make our proffesion look a tad more proffesional to the general public, rather than looking down on us as if we are only one step above a gardener, and how dare we charge such a amount for merely cutting down a tree.

[Lee Winger]

and i'd say it would cut down on time wasted, visiting customers who can't make there mind up if to really have the tree taken down or not , but they'll get a price anyway, wasting your precious time

what no comments

Lee, I admit i've only scan read it but it looks like our existing conservation and TPO legislation. Sorry if i've missed something.

 

I like the reference to applying for permission to 'injure' a tree. Very accurate and emotive use of words.

[Lee Winger]

This relates to ''any'' tree in NSW..

[Amelanchier]

ah. One hell of a conservation area! wonder what exemptions under 'part 4 - Vegetation Management Works ' are?

[Mr Ed]

This relates to ''any'' tree in NSW..

 

I think it only applies to trees within Wyong Shire council.

[Lee Winger]

Ed i'm certain its all over or at least most of NSW

What are your guidelines where you are Lee?

[Lee Winger]

Aussie you can cut down or trim what you like over here, unhless the tree has a preservation order or the tree is situated in a older part of town know as a conservation area.
