Tree work in Bundeena

Bushland edge on sandstone on Port Hacking.

Bundeena is a village inside the Royal National Park, across Port Hacking from Cronulla. Almost every block borders bushland, so bushfire clearance and protected native vegetation are part of most jobs. Access for trucks and equipment is by road through the park.

  • Angophoras drop limbs, sometimes large ones on still summer days, so deadwood and weight-reduction pruning are common requests.
  • Big native trees on steep, rocky blocks, often right at the back fence where the bush starts.

Trees we often see in bushland edge on sandstone: Sydney peppermint, Blackbutt, Turpentine, Sydney red gum.

Questions

Tree work in Bundeena: questions.

Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Bundeena?

Often. Bundeena is in the Sutherland Shire Council area, where a permit is usually needed for trunk 100 mm or more across at 500 mm high, any bushland vegetation, or anything within 4 m of a creek. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Sutherland Shire guide walks through it with a checker.

Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Bundeena?

25% of Bundeena is mapped as bush fire prone land, mostly along its bushland edges. The 10/50 rule may apply to some addresses — check yours with the RFS tool. The RFS tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.

Do you work in Bundeena?

Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Bundeena and nearby Burraneer and Cronulla.

How much does tree removal cost in Bundeena?

It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On steep, rocky bushland blocks most removals are sectional, lowered on ropes, which takes longer than a clear drop. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
