Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Hornsby?
Most trees in Hornsby require Council approval unless they fall under an exemption. Because rules vary by size and species, it’s often unclear to homeowners whether approval applies.
We assess the tree on-site, confirm if it’s exempt, and provide a Level 5 Arborist Report when needed to support your Council application.
What size tree needs approval?
A permit is usually required if a tree exceeds Hornsby Council’s size limits, generally over 3 m tall or 150 mm in trunk diameter.
We take accurate on-site measurements to confirm whether your tree meets exemption criteria or requires a permit and supporting Level 5 documentation.
What if the tree is dangerous or dead?
Dangerous or dead trees may be removed urgently, but Council typically needs evidence that the tree poses an immediate safety risk.
We provide fast assessments and written Level 5 reports confirming the condition and danger, supporting both Council requirements and insurance needs.
How fast can I get an arborist report?
Turnaround times vary, but we offer fast-track options for urgent applications, with many reports completed within short timeframes.
All reports are formatted for easy submission to Hornsby Council or the NSW Planning Portal, helping reduce approval delays.
