Tree Removal Request | Castle Hill Community Association

After reviewing the tree removal request process, please complete the form below to submit a tree removal request to the CHCA Reserves Subcommittee.

The Reserves Management Plan, under which tree removals are considered, can be downloaded from the Selwyn District Council website.

Once your application is received by the Castle Hill Community Association (CHCA) it will be reviewed by the Reserves Subcommittee. They may choose to consult with neighbouring landowners and they will provide a recommendation to the main CHCA Committee for approval. Upon approval of the application, CHCA will recommend formal approval by the Selwyn District Council. This process can take 2-3 months.
