What Council Does Glebe Fall Under for Tree Removal Permits?
Glebe falls under the City of Sydney Council for tree removal and pruning permits. The Sydney DCP 2012 tree management controls and the Tree Management Policy determine which trees require consent, the amount of pruning permitted, and the information required to support an application. Larger canopy species such as eucalypts, figs, plane trees and liquidambars usually need approval, especially in heritage streets or near conservation areas. Smaller ornamentals and some shrubs may be exempt if they sit below size thresholds and are not part of a development landscape plan. Trees Down Under helps you interpret these rules so any Sydney tree lopping or removal work stays compliant.
What trees can I remove in Glebe?
You can usually remove small shrubs and young trees that sit below the City of Sydney size thresholds and are not heritage listed or protected by a development consent. Many trees common in Glebe, including mature figs, eucalypts, plane trees and large Celtis, often require a Tree Works Permit before removal or heavy pruning, especially where they affect streetscape, lanes or foreshore views. Trees near Blackwattle Bay or within heritage conservation streets may face stricter controls. Trees Down Under can inspect your property, identify the species, measure trunk size and height, and explain whether your tree is exempt, controlled, or better managed through structured pruning rather than full removal.

Really pleased with the job from Trees Down Under, guys were really pleasant and helpful to deal with. Yard and area left so tidy you’d barely know they were there. Price was very reasonable as well. Communication easy and prompt. Will definitely use them again.
Our trees were seriously overgrown and blocking all sun in backyard – now open and neat. Total tree removal from front that was completely growing around piwer lines.

Congrats Team “Trees Down Under” as you have provided an outstanding and highly professional service. As you know the access to the two large Angophora trees on my property was difficult but your team working in partnership with Transformer Cranes made a difficult job look easy.
Please pass on my sincere gratitude to all concerned for not only the work carried out but also the care and respect they showed to Puppy Rosie and myself.
Thank you for a job well done
