The trees of Port Stephens
The assessment should consider what the tree provides and what it could affect. A tree beside a building, one providing livestock shelter and one within a planted row call for different practical questions.
Hollows or signs of native animal use need to be raised even where timber appears dead. An exemption should not be assumed from appearance alone.
Where branches extend from adjoining land, establish the trunk position and owner. Private access to the canopy does not create authority to remove another owner's tree.
