Do I Need a Council Permit to Remove a Storm-Damaged Tree?
In most Sydney councils, a permit is required before removing a tree – even one that has been storm-damaged. Some councils have exemption provisions for trees posing an immediate safety risk, but the rules vary by local government area. Trees Down Under handles permit applications directly and can advise on your specific situation during the on-site assessment.
We work with every local council in Sydney – permits don’t have to be a headache if you know the process.

Many home insurance policies cover emergency tree removal when a fallen tree has caused damage to a structure. Trees Down Under can provide a formal arborist report to support your claim. It’s worth contacting your insurer early, as each policy has different conditions around what qualifies for cover.
What Happens to the Green Waste After Removal?
Full site clean-up is included in every job – timber, branches, and debris are removed from the property as part of the service. Green waste is disposed of responsibly, so there is nothing left for you to manage once the crew has finished.
