Tree Works Permits

The Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme provides for the protection of native and exotic vegetation.

Reasons include:

• The peninsula has less than 10 per cent of its original native vegetation 
• Vegetation is an important part of the landscape that makes the peninsula an attractive place to live. 

The planning scheme explains these matters in more detail and triggers a need for a planning permit in cases where there is a risk to the character of an area or environmental issues.
