Getting equipment into Singleton

Council approval in Singleton
Singleton Council generally requires a permit for trees over 3 metres tall with a trunk circumference over 450mm, measured at 1.4 metres above the ground.
Exemptions may apply, including for some trees near approved buildings. Dead or dying trees still need council's confirmation and supporting documentation before removal.
Contact council with your street address and details of the tree before arranging work. They can confirm any exemptions, property restrictions or rural clearing requirements that apply.
What we get called to in Singleton
Ask for a scope that identifies the trees involved and distinguishes pruning, removal and stump work. Tree removal in Singleton can leave a separate decision about how the cleared space will be used.
Where excavation is proposed near a retained tree, include that in the discussion before finalising the scope. Plans for a driveway, slab or trench may affect roots even when branches remain clear of the work. Keep the tree assessment with the project documents.
Clarify whether the goal is more building clearance, removal of damaged growth or preparation for a project. An assessment is more useful when it addresses the specific reason for the enquiry. Keep photos and any previous advice together so changes in the tree can be discussed.

Common questions for Tree Removal in Singleton:
Does each trunk count separately?
Circumference is measured around the trunk; 450mm circumference is roughly 143mm across. Each trunk is measured separately against 300mm circumference, with photos showing the separate stems needed rather than the overall width of the tree.
Does proximity to a building matter?
The stated exemptions concern approved structures and require the landowner's consent.
Can I declare a tree dead myself?
Seek council's exemption first with an arborist report covering removal and retention, condition, size, canopy spread and any hollows. Explain whether native animals use the tree so council can assess exemption eligibility.
