Coastal and beachside.
- Hedges and screening plants take a beating from salt spray and need regular work.
- Salt wind and sandy soils: wind-thrown and wind-damaged trees after storms, and palms dropping heavy fronds.

Questions
Tree work in La Perouse: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in La Perouse?
Often. La Perouse is in the Randwick City Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 5 m or taller, 4 m canopy, or 400 mm trunk circumference at 1 m. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Randwick guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in La Perouse?
None of La Perouse 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 La Perouse in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. La Perouse includes the Kamay Botany Bay National Park (Botany Bay National Park, La Perouse Headland, Yarra & Frenchman's Bay) heritage conservation area. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in La Perouse?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including La Perouse and nearby Little Bay and Phillip Bay.
How much does tree removal cost in La Perouse?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. On coastal strata blocks, parking, access and working around residents need planning and can add time. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
