Council, Powerline and Access Caveats
Council Approval
City of Gold Coast approval may be required before pruning or removing vegetation on private land. Check current guidance first.
Powerlines
Vegetation near powerlines is dangerous. Follow current Energex guidance and never attempt DIY cutting near lines.
Access
Narrow access, slopes and overhead obstacles affect what equipment can be used and how debris is removed.
