Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Removal
Q.Do I need Townsville City Council approval to remove a tree in Townsville?
On standard private residential freehold land in Townsville, property owners generally do not require a council permit for ordinary trees located wholly within their property boundaries. However, approval from Townsville City Council (TCC) is required if your property is covered by specific planning scheme overlays (such as Riparian Corridors, Steep Land / Landslide Hazards, Coastal Hazards, or Character Heritage precincts) or if the tree is on a public road reserve or council nature strip. Our qualified Level 5 arborists verify your property overlay status and assist with all necessary TCC documentation.
Q.How do you remove a large tree in a tight space?
We use sectional dismantling. Our climbers scale the tree and use pulleys, lowering lines, and rigging blocks to dismantle it piece by piece from the top down, keeping your home, fences, and garden beds completely safe.
Q.What happens to the wood and green waste afterwards?
We chip branches on-site into valuable organic mulch. You can choose to keep the mulch for your garden or have us transport all green waste completely off your property.
Q.Are you fully insured for damage?
Yes, Arbco Tree Services carries comprehensive $20 Million Public Liability Insurance and all workers are covered under WorkCover Queensland.
