Urban Forest Act 2023

The conservator must give written notice of a decision under section 55 to—

the person who nominated the tree for registration; and

if the conservator decides to provisionally register the tree—

the lessee of, or custodian for, the land that includes all or part of the protection zone for the tree; and

for a heritage tree—the heritage council.

However, the conservator need not give more than 1 notice to a particular person.

The conservator may give written notice of the decision to anyone else the conservator considers appropriate.

The conservator must also give public notice of a decision.

A notice under this section must include—

enough information to allow the tree to be identified; and

a statement to the effect that any comments on the tree’s proposed registration may be given to the conservator on or before the closing date stated in the notice.

The closing date must be at least 21 working days after the day public notice is given under subsection (4).
