Trees and the shire's overlays around Hastings homes
Hastings sits inside Mornington Peninsula Shire, and the shire's Vegetation Protection Overlay can affect work near trees.
Under that overlay, removing, destroying or lopping protected vegetation can need a planning permit. A new building or earthworks within a tree protection zone may also need one.
The VPO1 schedule requires a planning permit to remove, destroy or lop any vegetation. Tell us about trees near the house when you ask for a quote.
Council land and nature strips
Vegetation on a nature strip or other council land needs its own permit before anyone prunes, lops or uproots it.
That permit falls under the shire's Community Amenity Local Law 2022. Councils may also restrict work near significant trees, so plan access to the stumps with this in mind.
What the shire's tree rules mean for a restumping job
Tree protection in the shire comes mainly from the Victorian Planning Provisions, through the Vegetation Protection Overlay and the Significant Landscape Overlay.
The restumper who quotes your job will look at where the work needs to happen. If digging or access touches protected vegetation, a permit may be needed first.
Services we arrange for Hastings houses
Restumping is replacing the stumps, also called piers, under a house. Reblocking is the same job under another name.
We also arrange underpinning, relevelling and single stump replacement. A licensed restumper inspects the house and tells you which one it needs.

Questions from Hastings
Do I need a permit to restump a house in Hastings?
The restumper who quotes your job will advise you on permits. Trees are one part the shire regulates. Its Vegetation Protection Overlay can require a permit to remove, destroy or lop vegetation.
Can trees near my Hastings house hold up the work?
They can, if the trees are protected. Hastings is in Mornington Peninsula Shire, where the VPO1 schedule requires a permit to remove, destroy or lop any vegetation. Earthworks within a tree protection zone may need one too.
What about the tree on the nature strip out front?
You need a council permit before you prune, lop or uproot it. The shire requires this under its Community Amenity Local Law 2022. Councils may also restrict work near significant trees.
Does the shire have a separate tree protection law?
No, protection comes mainly from planning overlays. The Victorian Planning Provisions apply it through the Vegetation Protection Overlay and the Significant Landscape Overlay. Check the overlays on your property before any digging.
