Tree services we cover in Forest Hill

Forest Hill sits about 10km east of the Wagga CBD on the Sturt Highway, and it's the one part of the city where tree height genuinely has a second dimension to it — RAAF Base Wagga and Wagga Wagga Airport are both here.

Trees near an active airfield can carry height restrictions beyond the usual council rules. Worth checking before you plan work on anything tall.

Council approval in Forest Hill

• The Bureau of Meteorology's regional office is also located at Forest Hill.
• The newer streets are named after Australian trees, which is a nice touch for a suburb that generates a fair bit of tree work.

Local knowledge that matters

Forest Hill 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.

A dead tree is exempt only if it's on a lot no larger than 0.2ha. 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.

Getting a quote

Most suburban removals sit between $800 and $2,500, with small trees from about $250 and anything over 10 metres starting around $2,500. Stump grinding is nearly always quoted separately, so say up front if you want the stump gone.
