A council committee will today consider its response to a recent law change that allows trees to be trimmed without a resource consent.

The law change - introduced last month - means trees on private property that aren't protected on the district plan can be trimmed and, from January 2012, they will be able to be cut down without a consent.

Auckland City Council's City Development Committee will this morning consider options to update or review their list of protected trees.
