Established suburban blocks.
- Trees planted 40 to 60 years ago that are now far too big for where they stand: over the roof, against the house, lifting the driveway.

Questions
Tree work in Randwick: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Randwick?
Often. Randwick 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 Randwick?
None of Randwick 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 Randwick in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Randwick includes Racecourse, North Randwick, The Spot and Randwick Environmental Park heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Randwick?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Randwick and nearby Coogee, Kingsford and Queens Park.
How much does tree removal cost in Randwick?
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.
