Questions
Tree work in Dulwich Hill: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Dulwich Hill?
Often. Dulwich Hill is in the Inner West Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 4 m or taller, trunk over 150 mm at 1.4 m, or canopy 2 m or more. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Inner West guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Dulwich Hill?
None of Dulwich Hill 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 Dulwich Hill in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Dulwich Hill includes South Dulwich Hill, The Abergeldie Estate, Dulwich Hill Commercial Precinct and Hoskins Park and Environs heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Dulwich Hill?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Dulwich Hill and nearby Summer Hill, Hurlstone Park and Lewisham.
How much does tree removal cost in Dulwich Hill?
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.
