Worth knowing about Bourkelands

Newer estate housing with younger plantings, so the work here skews toward shaping and structural pruning rather than removals. Getting the form right on a young tree now avoids the hazardous one in fifteen years.

What comes up most around Bourkelands: tree pruning, land clearing, arborist reports. Newer stock, so that mix is typical for the area.

Permits and approvals

Bourkelands is inside the Wagga Wagga City Council area, so the city's rules apply: approval is needed for any living tree 8 metres or taller, native vegetation in a wetland, and any tree on the Significant or Heritage register regardless of size.

Dead trees are exempt, as is taking dead branches out of a living canopy. Council also publishes an Undesirable Plant Species list — palms, willows, privet, camphor laurel and others — which can go without a permit at any size. The full rules are here.

What you'll pay

Access, proximity to the house and what happens to the timber are the three things that decide the number. Height matters less than people expect. Keeping the wood for firewood can bring the price down.
