Tree Removal or Pruning in your suburb Gosford

What do I do if I need to remove a tree in Gosford?

If the tree is over three metres in height and is not exempt, you will need to lodge a Tree Works Application Form for tree removal or pruning

Council will then send a Tree Assessment Officer to your property; usually within two weeks of receiving your application. Council will notify you by mail with the results of the inspection. You will need to display your consent letter from council at the front of the site while the work is being carried out by an approved council contractor such as Argonauts Tree Service for tree removal-pruning.Gosford 2250

All approvals are valid for five years

– if a permit has expired, you will need to repay the application fee, and then re-apply.

You don’t need to lodge an application if your tree is part of a current Development Application (DA) with council, as it will be assessed as part of the DA process.

  • As well as looking beautiful
  • They provide shade
  • Lock up carbon and release oxygen into the air
  • Provide habitats for a wide range of birds and animals
  • Help to screen unsightly views, assist in dampening noise, reduce air temperature and increase privacy
  • Prevent erosion and stabilise the soil.
