Questions
Tree work in Homebush: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Homebush?
Often. Homebush is in the Strathfield Municipal Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 4 m or taller, or trunk girth over 500 mm at 1 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Strathfield guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Homebush?
None of Homebush 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 Homebush in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Homebush includes Abbotsford Road Conservation Area, Homebush, Village of Homebush Retail Conservation Area, Homebush, Meredith Street Conservation Area, Homebush- Victorian Villa Group and Broughton Road Conservation Area, Strathfield- Federation Houses Group heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Homebush?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Homebush and nearby North Strathfield, Homebush West and Strathfield.
How much does tree removal cost in Homebush?
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.
