Tree work in Cabarita
Waterfront and foreshore on the Parramatta River.
- Access is the whole job: stairs, inclinators, a crane over the house, or working from the water. We have taken the truck and chipper across by barge.
- Trees lean toward the light over the water, so the weight sits out over the foreshore.
- Steep blocks running down to the water, with the tree between the house and the boatshed.
Trees we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Norfolk Island pine, Cocos palm, Sydney red gum, Blackbutt.

Questions
Tree work in Cabarita: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Cabarita?
Often. Cabarita is in the City of Canada Bay Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 5 m or taller, trunk over 300 mm at ground level, or canopy over 4 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Canada Bay guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Cabarita?
None of Cabarita is mapped as bush fire prone land. 10/50 entitlement areas use a different map, so this is only a guide: the 10/50 clearing rule probably won't apply. The RFS 10/50 tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Do you work in Cabarita?
Yes. We work right across Sydney from four bases (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown), including Cabarita and nearby Breakfast Point and Concord.
How much does tree removal cost in Cabarita?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On waterfront blocks access is usually the biggest factor: stairs, an inclinator, a crane over the house or working from the water. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
