Questions
Tree work in Stanmore: questions.
Do I need council approval to remove a tree in Stanmore?
Often. Stanmore is in the Inner West Council area, where a permit is usually needed for 4 m or taller, trunk over 150 mm at 1.4 m, or canopy 2 m or more. Exempt species and some pruning don't need one. Our Inner West guide walks through it with a checker.
Does the 10/50 bushfire rule apply in Stanmore?
None of Stanmore 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 Stanmore in a heritage conservation area?
Parts are. Stanmore includes Annandale Farm, Kingston South, Kingston West and Parramatta Road Commercial Precinct heritage conservation areas. Trees in a conservation area usually need more than a standard permit, often a development application.
Do you work in Stanmore?
Yes. We're a Sutherland Shire business working right across Sydney, including Stanmore and nearby Enmore, Petersham and Newtown.
How much does tree removal cost in Stanmore?
It depends on the tree's size, access, what's underneath and whether you want the stump ground. With no side access, everything may have to come out through the house, over the roof by crane or via a rear lane. Quotes are free and no-obligation. See what affects the cost.
