Faulconbridge falls under Blue Mountains City Council
Faulconbridge sits within Blue Mountains City Council (BMCC), so tree work is governed by its rules. Most native or canopy trees, and any tree that provides habitat, need a permit before removal. Some small or exempt species can come down without approval.
When several trees are involved, each one may need its own assessment. A tree before removal can be exempt while the one beside it is protected.
How Trees Down Under manages the risk
Trees Down Under is fully licensed, insured and Cm3 certified, so the work is covered from the first inspection to the final cut. Its AQF Level 3-5 certified arborists check each tree against council requirements before anything is touched.
We work with every local council in Sydney – permits don’t have to be a headache. Checking first protects the owner from fines and the tree work from delays.

What the team checks for each tree
- Whether the species and size require a permit
- Whether the tree is a canopy or habitat tree
- Whether the BMCC Tree Removal Application is needed
- Whether an arborist report should support the application
Where approval is required, the arborists assist with the application so the removal is safe and compliant.
