Questions
Tree work in Ashbury: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Ashbury?
Often. Ashbury is in the City of Canterbury Bankstown area, where a permit is usually needed for 5 m or taller (any size on heritage, biodiversity-mapped or foreshore land). Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Canterbury-Bankstown guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Ashbury?
None of Ashbury 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 tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Is Ashbury in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Ashbury includes the Ashbury heritage conservation area. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Ashbury?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Ashbury and nearby Hurlstone Park, Canterbury and Ashfield.
How much does tree removal cost in Ashbury?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. A tree over the roof or against the house usually comes down in sections, so it's priced on time and care rather than size alone. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
