Tree work in Dolans Bay
Waterfront and foreshore on Port Hacking.
Dolans Bay is a quiet waterfront pocket on Port Hacking. Steep blocks and large trees over boatsheds and the water.
- Access is the whole job: stairs, inclinators, a crane over the house, or working from the water. We have taken the truck and chipper across by barge.
- Trees lean toward the light over the water, so the weight sits out over the foreshore.
Trees we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Blackbutt, Swamp oak, Cabbage tree palm, Norfolk Island pine.

Questions
Tree work in Dolans Bay: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Dolans Bay?
Often. Dolans Bay 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 Dolans Bay?
None of Dolans Bay 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 Dolans Bay?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Dolans Bay and nearby Port Hacking, Burraneer and Caringbah South.
How much does tree removal cost in Dolans Bay?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On waterfront blocks access is usually the biggest factor: stairs, an inclinator, a crane over the house or working from the water. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
