Questions
Tree work in Cronulla: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Cronulla?
Often. Cronulla 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 Cronulla?
None of Cronulla 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.
Do you work in Cronulla?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Cronulla and nearby Burraneer, Woolooware and Greenhills Beach.
How much does tree removal cost in Cronulla?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On coastal strata blocks, parking, access and working around residents need planning and can add time. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
