Re: Replant
Hi Steve.
Timing depends on lots of factors - species, your location, age of the plant and possibly how desperate you are to repot.
You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to repot.
In general Brisbane probably has a much wider window for repotting because it does not get cold there. Some species can be repotted all year round up there.

Re: Replant
Hi Steve,
I'm also very new and I've learned that the best time for deciduous trees is as the buds are swelling/breaking. Where I am in Melbourne this could be late winter to mid-spring - I've learned some trees are hardier than others and can tolerate it earlier.
Natives I will leave until the weather is warmer, but I've heard even in Melbourne there's a good chance we can repot them year-round. However, if you have trees in refinement or maintenance you really only need to repot them once they become very pot-bound, maybe only after 2, 3 or even 6 years. Peter Chan on Youtube has great, easy to follow videos on repotting.
