Our system will guide you through the specific requirements based on your request type.

You may appeal the decision within 15 days by providing additional evidence or documentation.

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.
