Exempt species · checked 30 September 2026
Which trees can you remove without a permit?
Most councils publish a list of exempt species: weeds and problem trees you can usually remove without approval, whatever their size. The lists differ a lot. Cocos palm is exempt in 31 of 32 councils, camphor laurel in 25. This table matches every council's own list against the species people ask us about most.

Before you rely on this: exempt lists almost never apply on heritage items or in heritage conservation areas, and some councils also require notice, an arborist's species identification or a replacement tree even for exempt species. Each council's page has its full list and conditions. Some councils have no exempt list at all.
