Tree maintenance
The City of Vincent is responsible for the maintenance of all street trees and undertakes an annual tree pruning program.
As part of this program, all street trees located under powerlines are pruned in accordance with Western Power's clearance requirements. This includes trees affecting service lines (power supply to individual residents).
Street trees that are not located under powerlines are also under pruned as required to ensure safe pedestrian and vehicular access.
Please note that it is an offence for anyone to prune or remove a street tree.
More information can be found in the Tree Policy.

Tree pruning schedule
Vincent's annual tree pruning program commences in June/July each year.
Street tree inspections or pruning request
Residents may request for a street tree to be pruned back to the property line.
All property line pruning requests must be received before September to be actioned in the current pruning season. Property line pruning will be carried out once the powerline pruning program is complete.
To request an inspection, contact our Parks team on mail@vincent.wa.gov.au or 9273 6000.
