Tree work in Little Bay
Coastal and beachside.
- Salt wind and sandy soils: wind-thrown and wind-damaged trees after storms, and palms dropping heavy fronds.
- Many jobs are on strata blocks and apartment buildings, where parking, access and residents need planning.
- Hedges and screening plants take a beating from salt spray and need regular work.
Trees we often see in coastal and beachside: Norfolk Island pine, Coast banksia, Coast tea-tree, Cocos palm.

Questions
Tree work in Little Bay: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Little Bay?
Often. Little Bay 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 Little Bay?
None of Little Bay 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 Little Bay in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Little Bay includes Aboriginal objects and Aboriginal place of heritage significance within the Former Prince Henry Hospital site, Prince Henry Hospital Site and Kamay Botany Bay National Park (Botany Bay National Park, La Perouse Headland, Yarra & Frenchman's Bay) heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Little Bay?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Little Bay and nearby La Perouse, Phillip Bay and Chifley.
How much does tree removal cost in Little Bay?
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.
