Tree Removal In Point Clare, New South Wales
Local Tree Removal Gosford provides tree removal in Point Clare, for homes and commercial properties, along with tree cutting, pruning, stump grinding, arborist assessments, land clearing and emergency storm work. This page covers the foreshore reserves, bushland and national park that sit around Point Clare.
Between Brisbane Water And The Bush
Point Clare is on the western shore of Brisbane Water, with Brisbane Water National Park to its south-west. That puts several kinds of public land next to Point Clare blocks, and each has different rules from the trees in your own garden. The usual council exemptions are on our home page.
Foreshore reserves
Council manages Point Clare Waterfront on Kurrawa Avenue, and Goodaywang Reserve is on the Brisbane Water foreshore. A tree in a reserve is council’s, not yours. Contact council on 02 4306 7900.
Council bushland and creek lots
Council’s community land plan of management (in force 14 July 2025) lists Point Clare natural area bushland on Wendy Drive, Singleton Road and McKellar Close, natural area watercourse on Northwind Avenue and natural area wetland on Singleton Road.
National park and fire
NPWS has run hazard reduction burns in Brisbane Water National Park, with smoke noted over residential areas including Point Clare. Trees in the park aren’t yours to remove. Our Kariong page explains the 10/50 rule for homes beside bushland.
The water’s edge
NSW DPI Fisheries requires a permit to harm mangroves, saltmarsh or seagrass on the foreshore. See our Davistown page. Land near a creek has separate rules, covered on our Erina page.
The neighbour tree law doesn’t cover council land. Legal Aid NSW says trees on council land are excluded from the Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act 2006, so a branch from a council reserve over your fence is a matter for council.
Before You Book In Point Clare
- Work out whether the tree is on your land, a council reserve, or the national park.
- If your home is beside bushland, check whether it’s in a mapped 10/50 entitlement area using the RFS tool.
- If your block touches the water, check what grows below the high-tide line before anything is cut.
- Have the species identified. Threatened species aren’t covered by council’s exemptions.
- If a storm has brought a tree down, start with our emergency tree removal page.
- Decide about the stump. Our stump grinding page covers the options.
