Tree work in South Coogee
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.

Questions
Tree work in South Coogee: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in South Coogee?
Often. South Coogee 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 South Coogee?
None of South Coogee 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.
Do you work in South Coogee?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including South Coogee and nearby Coogee, Maroubra and Randwick.
How much does tree removal cost in South Coogee?
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.
