About the Heritage Inventory

The Heritage Inventory is a register of heritage places of cultural significance, and also includes a list of ‘Significant Trees’. The Heritage Inventory records places that represent significant cultural values due to their age or value to the Cockburn community.

Trees may be considered for inclusion if they meet the criteria that deems them significant enough to make the list. Considerations include:

  • historic value
  • horticultural value
  • social, cultural or spiritual value. 
  • if they are rare or localised
  • whether they are of exceptional size, age and form, 
  • their locational context
  • their Aboriginal association

If the trees are included within the inventory, they cannot be removed unless a development application is lodged with the City of Cockburn. In this instance, however, the trees are located within road reservation, and may be exempt from requiring development approval to remove them.
