Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Horsley Park?

Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Horsley Park?
48% of Horsley Park is mapped as bush fire prone land, mostly along its bushland edges. The 10/50 rule may apply to some addresses — check yours with the RFS tool. The RFS tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Is Horsley Park in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Horsley Park includes the Spotted Gum forest heritage conservation area. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Horsley Park?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Horsley Park and nearby Abbotsbury, Eastern Creek and Mount Vernon.
How much does tree removal cost in Horsley Park?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On larger semi-rural blocks wide access often means bigger equipment and faster work, which helps the price. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
