Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Council approval to remove a tree in Hornsby?
Most tree removals require Hornsby Council approval unless the tree meets exemption criteria.
We confirm whether your tree is exempt and prepare the Level 5 Arborist Report required for Council assessment.
What size tree needs a permit in Hornsby?
Trees usually need a permit if they exceed Council height or trunk size thresholds.
We measure trunk diameter, height and canopy spread to determine whether approval is required.
What trees are exempt from Hornsby Council approval?
Some species and small-size trees are exempt. We confirm exemption on-site.
We check species, size and location to verify whether Council approval is needed.
Can I remove a dangerous or dead tree without approval?
Yes, dangerous or failed trees may be removed urgently, but require a Level 5 Arborist Report.
We assess the hazard and provide emergency documentation accepted by Council and insurers.
