Questions
Tree work in Queens Park: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Queens Park?
Often. Queens Park is in the Waverley Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 3 m or taller, or 3 m canopy spread (pruning trees under 5 m is exempt). Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Waverley guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Queens Park?
None of Queens Park 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.
Is Queens Park in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Queens Park includes Queens Park, Centennial Park (south-east corner), Blenheim Street / Bronte Road and Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Queens Park?
Yes. We work right across Sydney from four bases (Engadine, Ryde, Gordon and Bankstown), including Queens Park and nearby Bondi Junction, Waverley and Centennial Park.
How much does tree removal cost in Queens Park?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. With no side access, everything may have to come out through the house, over the roof by crane or via a rear lane. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
