Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Ingleside?
96% of Ingleside is mapped as bush fire prone land. Some homes here may be able to use the 10/50 rule, but it's decided address by address, so check yours with the RFS tool first. The RFS tool, not the suburb, decides. See the 10/50 rule explained.
Is Ingleside in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Ingleside includes the Oxford Falls Conservaton Area heritage conservation area. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.

Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Ingleside and nearby Elanora Heights, North Narrabeen and Terrey Hills.
How much does tree removal cost in Ingleside?
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.
