A risky or unwanted tree is stressful, especially on a steep Blue Mountains block. Our certified arborists, with 20+ years’ experience, handle tree removal in Katoomba from start to finish, including council permit guidance, crane work and full site clean-up. Book a free tree inspection, or call 0475 463 597 any time for 24/7 emergency help.
Homes in Katoomba sit among bushland and steep blocks, so a storm-damaged, ageing or leaning tree can threaten roofs, fences and driveways quickly. Trees Down Under sends AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists to every job, backed by full licensing, insurance and Cm3 certification. Our arborist services in Katoomba cover everything from hazardous tree removal to routine care.
Tight access and sloping ground often rule out a simple ground-based cut. Our own crane fleet allows crane-assisted removal on hard-to-reach blocks, with no extra crane fees. Before any tree removal, the team checks Blue Mountains City Council requirements, provides permit guidance and prepares arborist reports for applications where needed. Call 0475 463 597 any time to book a free tree inspection.
Katoomba sits under Blue Mountains City Council, so many tree removal jobs need an Approval to Manage Trees or Vegetation before any cutting starts. Tree removal council approval is usually needed if the tree is:
Thresholds differ between suburbs. Neighbouring Blaxland, for example, uses 4 m for height and crown spread, so check the rules for your exact address.
Exemptions can apply to trees that are dead or pose an immediate risk to people or structures. If a tree is unsafe right now, call 0475 463 597 any time and a certified arborist will advise on the safest next step.
Trees Down Under works out whether your tree needs a permit before removal, prepares an arborist report to support the application, and guides you through lodging it with council, online or in person.
We work with every local council in Sydney. Permits don’t have to be a headache when an arborist helps you through them.

Trees Down Under is fully licensed, insured and Cm3 certified. Every job is led by AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists, so tree removal and tree cutting follow recognised safety methods from assessment to the final cut. That includes diseased tree removal, where a tree is cut in sections to limit the spread of infection, and hazardous tree removal near homes and power lines.
Blue Mountains City Council may require approval before a tree comes down. The team gives council permit guidance and can prepare arborist reports to support an application, so work stays compliant.
Katoomba’s bushland and sloping land make access difficult. Our own crane fleet lifts sections clear of roofs, fences and tight yards, with no extra crane fees.
