Urban Forest Act 2023

This section applies to a tree if—

it is an Aboriginal cultural tree; or

for a tree other than an Aboriginal cultural tree—the conservator decides to provisionally register the tree.

The conservator must provisionally register the tree by entering the following information in the tree register:

enough information to allow the tree to be identified;

Information about the location or nature of an Aboriginal cultural tree is restricted information unless the conservator declares in writing that it is not (see s 74).

if practicable, the tree’s botanical name and any relevant horticultural information;

a description of the protection zone for the tree;

an indication that the registration is provisional;

the period of the provisional registration.

The conservator must give written notice of provisional registration of an Aboriginal cultural tree to the heritage council and each representative Aboriginal organisation.
