The trees of Balcolyn
A comparison with older photographs can help show whether a lean is longstanding or represents a recent change.
A new movement needs to be described separately from a longstanding shape, and close inspection should be left to the assessor; compare the current tree position with what was previously visible, including the ground around the base.
Keep clear of the area if instability is suspected and leave close inspection to the professional assessment; where soil has lifted or cracked, describe its position relative to the trunk.

Getting equipment into Balcolyn
Where branches reach towards traffic or a footpath, identify that in the first enquiry; public access arrangements can be required separately from permission to work on the tree; access advice for tree removal in Balcolyn depends on the frontage and public routes beside the canopy, rather than the tree dimensions alone.
Include the available entrances rather than rely on a restricted passage beside the house and let the site assessment establish the suitable approach instead of assuming a route through the house.
Show where fixed features reduce the clear width on the way to the tree with the corners shown too, because a straight looking approach may still require a change of direction.
Council approval in Balcolyn
For properties in Lake Macquarie City Council's area, a Tree Application may be needed to prune or remove a native tree or an Araucaria pine. Non native trees are generally exempt, except where heritage protection applies.
Use council's online assessment tools or enquire with council before arranging work. They can confirm the requirements for the tree and your address.
Habitat, property approvals and other land restrictions may affect the proposal. Refer trees on public land to the responsible land manager.
