Questions
Tree work in Cremorne: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Cremorne?
Often. Cremorne is in the North Sydney Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 5 m or taller, crown 5 m wide, or trunk circumference 500 mm at ground level. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our North Sydney guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Cremorne?
None of Cremorne 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 Cremorne in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Cremorne includes Cremorne, Montague Road and Oaks Avenue heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Cremorne?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Cremorne and nearby Neutral Bay, Cammeray and Cremorne Point.
How much does tree removal cost in Cremorne?
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.
