About this form

This Nomination Form has been developed to enable and encourage members of the community to provide detailed information about a significant tree (or group of trees) for nomination to the Register.

When gathering tree measurements for this nomination, please make sure that you have permission to enter the property on which the tree is situated. If the tree is on private property, you will need the owner’s permission before entering the site. If it is on Aboriginal land, you may require an entry permit. At all times, please demonstrate respect to the property owner and/or manager.

We appreciate your efforts in collecting accurate and detailed information. The more information you are able to provide about the tree, the quicker it will be for the Significant Tree Committee to process your nomination. The Significant Tree Committees are expert volunteers who donate their time to assess nominations. If you have urgent enquiries regarding a significant tree under threat, please contact the National Trust office in your state or territory. http://www.nationaltrust.org.au/contact

You are able to save your form by clicking the ‘save’ button at the bottom of this page. This will allow you to return to complete your nomination at a later time. When you have completed all of the mandatory fields, please click ‘submit’. You will be contacted in due course regarding the success of your nomination.

Please take note of prior nominations listed when submitting new nominations to avoid duplicate nominations.
