A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
An action required under a canopy contribution agreement to counterbalance canopy loss caused by approved removal of a protected tree.
A canopy contribution is a requirement to help replace or make up for the loss of tree cover when approved tree removal reduces the amount of shade and greenery in an area. It may involve planting new trees, paying a contribution, or taking another approved action. It is not a general fee for building or infrastructure works.
