The average processing time is 7-10 working days from submission to final decision. Simple cases may be resolved in 3-5 days, while complex cases requiring multiple department reviews may take up to 14 days. You'll receive notifications at each stage of the process.

You'll need to provide: 1) Clear photos of the tree showing its condition and surroundings, 2) Property ownership documents if the tree is on private land, 3) A site plan if the request is related to construction, and 4) Any supporting documents about safety concerns if applicable. Our system will guide you through the specific requirements based on your request type.

If your request is denied, you'll receive a detailed explanation with the reasons and any alternative solutions recommended by our arborists. You may appeal the decision within 15 days by providing additional evidence or documentation. Our team can also arrange a consultation to discuss alternative approaches that might meet your needs while preserving the tree.

Our policy requires planting 3 new native saplings for every mature tree removed. These must be planted in approved locations and maintained for at least 3 years. You can either: 1) Plant them yourself following our guidelines, 2) Pay a fee for the municipal corporation to plant them, or 3) Participate in community planting events. Our team monitors all replacement plantings for survival rates.

Yes, you can track your application in three ways: 1) Through your online dashboard on our portal, 2) Via WhatsApp notifications at each stage (enable this during submission), or 3) By calling our helpline with your application reference number. All decisions and inspection reports are also documented in the public portal for transparency.
