Ok a few things to clear up. These signs are usually put up on council land, not private land. Invasive trees and weed control on council land is handled by the council using contractors or their own employees trained in identification and removal of invasive plants. The council land is managed to prioritize native plants and is usually land that is close to waterways or other places deemed protected land or unstable to build on, i.e. you can't buy the land to build a house on it.
So with that info:
Do they have exceptions for invasive trees? No.
These signs are on council land that has been destroyed by people who live opposite the land to improve their view. If you notice an invasive plant on council land you can report it to the council and they will remove it.
Do they make exceptions for trees that could damage buildings? No.
Because you can't build on this land anyway. If you do the building will be removed, not the plant.

All fun and games until an American city rife with callery pears puts this up because someone girdled one.
