Document number R5876, agenda pages 7 - 20 refer.
Manager Consents and Compliance, Mandy Bishop, and Manager Building, Martin Brown, presented the report.

Ms Bishop said that officers supported the $500 consent fee for the pruning or trimming of heritage trees, as suggested by a submitter and that the fee schedule and response to submitters would be amended.
It was noted that a lower fee of $500 for pruning and trimming would be likely to encourage early intervention where a tree appeared to be diseased, a threat to public safety or causing damage to structures.
