Cut or Trim Notice


Summary of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations

[ Last Updated 29 November 2005 ]


If a line owner becomes aware of a tree encroaching the growth limit zone 18 months or more after promulgation of the regulations, it must issue a cut or trim notice. If this occurs less than 18 months after promulgation, the line owner may issue the notice. The purpose of a cut or trim notice is to notify a tree owner that a tree encroaches a growth limit zone and must be trimmed. The regulations prescribe the content of the cut or trim notice.

Once a cut or trim notice has been issued, the tree owner must, within prescribed time limits, have the tree cut or trimmed so that it does not encroach on the notice zone.
