Questions
Tree work in Hurlstone Park: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Hurlstone Park?
Often. Hurlstone Park is in the City of Canterbury Bankstown area, where a permit is usually needed for 5 m or taller (any size on heritage, biodiversity-mapped or foreshore land). Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Canterbury-Bankstown guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Hurlstone Park?
None of Hurlstone Park 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 Hurlstone Park in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Hurlstone Park includes Melford Street, Duntroon Street, Railway Street and Starkey Street heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Hurlstone Park?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Hurlstone Park and nearby Dulwich Hill, Canterbury and Ashbury.
How much does tree removal cost in Hurlstone Park?
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.
