In Victoria, the regulations regarding tree removal can vary depending on various factors such as the location, tree species, and local council bylaws. While it is not necessarily illegal to cut down trees in Victoria, there are often restrictions and regulations in place to protect certain trees and vegetation.

Some trees may be protected under environmental overlays, planning schemes, or local council bylaws. These regulations aim to preserve significant trees, vegetation, and the overall environmental health of the area. As a result, permits or approvals may be required before cutting down protected trees.

To ensure compliance with the applicable regulations and to determine if a tree on your property can be cut down, it is important to consult with your local council or relevant authorities. They can provide you with the specific information regarding tree removal regulations, permits, and any other requirements that may be applicable to your location.
