Tree Removal Central Coast
Arborist Central Coast takes enquiries about trees on home blocks from Umina Beach to Lake Munmorah and refers each one to an independent local provider, who looks at the tree and quotes. Removing or heavily pruning any tree 3 metres or taller needs a Central Coast Council permit unless an exemption applies, and the provider should tell you which applies before quoting.
Thanks — we have your enquiry. Someone will be in touch shortly. Prefer to talk now? Call (02) 4315 2380.
- Your enquiry goes to one independent local provider, not out to a list of tree businesses.
- We don't cut trees and we don't set prices. The provider quotes once they have seen the tree.
- Calls to this number play a notice that they may be recorded.

Worth knowing first
What this site does, and what the provider does
- One provider, not a list Your enquiry goes to a single independent provider working the Central Coast. It is not sold to several tree businesses at once.
- The permit usually comes first A tree 3 metres or taller generally needs Council's permit before it is removed or cut back hard. Council usually inspects within 10 working days of receiving an application.
- Ask for proof of cover SafeWork NSW suggests asking a tree work contractor for a certificate of currency before work starts. This site holds no insurance for tree work and vouches for nobody's.
- The price isn't ours This site neither sets nor quotes a price. The provider works one out after seeing the tree, the access and what has to be carted away.
Three steps
From enquiry to quote
- Describe the tree Your suburb, roughly how tall the tree is, how near it stands to the house or wires, and whether it is dead, leaning or damaged.
- We pass it on The enquiry goes to an independent provider covering the Central Coast. We are paid for the referral, never by you.
- They look and quote The provider contacts you to see the tree and quote. Ask them whether Council's permit applies before you agree a date. If nobody can take the job, we say so.
Tree Removal across the Central Coast
One council's rules cover every suburb on this site. Central Coast Council counts as a tree anything 3 metres tall, or with a trunk 75 millimetres across at 1.4 metres above the ground, and its permit costs $245 for up to two trees in 2026-27, plus $129.50 for each extra tree, excluding GST. Some removals need no permit: dead trees, and species on Council's Undesirable Species List such as camphor laurel and the cocos palm, provided the landowner keeps an arborist's written record for six months. Street trees are Council's to prune, and a Council tree that falls onto private land is removed by Council at no charge.
Where enquiries come from
Suburbs we cover
Enquiries come in from right across Central Coast Council's area. Seven suburbs have a page of their own, each built on something a government record says about trees there: an endangered woodland at Umina Beach, a flying-fox camp at Woy Woy, nature reserves beside Wamberal and Bateau Bay, heritage-listed trees at Narara, and swamp forest and a conservation area in the north.
