Summary
Key Points
Why it matters: 维州各地方议会（Council）对各类树木的修剪（Trimming）和砍伐（Lopping）有极其严苛的法律限制。房东在缺乏核实的情况下盲目施工，极易引发邻里举报并招致数千乃至数万澳元的巨额罚款。
维州各 Council 对特定树种、尺寸及受保护区域（如 Heritage Overlay）有严格的管理条例。通常一个自然年内修剪大树总量不得超过 20%，盲目削减高度或砍断粗枝可能被认定为非法破坏。房东切勿轻信无证工人的口头保证，在施工前必须亲自到所属 Council 官网核实规划重叠区与树木保护清单，并警惕土壤检测可查出树木被投毒致死的事实。
