The Central Coast is known and loved for the abundant, diverse bushland and natural environment.

Trees and vegetation on private land form an integral part of the local atmosphere and appropriately managing these contributes to the protection of wildlife, biodiversity and liveability of the Central Coast. At times, trees on private land will require pruning or removal and, where possible, replacement with suitable species. The following information provides the process that is to be followed in each circumstance.

In 2017 the State Government introduced a new State Environmental Planning Policy (Vegetation in Non-Rural Areas) 2017, commonly called the Vegetation SEPP, which replaced the clauses relating to trees in Council's LEP. The Central Coast Council Development Control Plan (DCP) trees and Vegetation Management is enacted by the Vegetation SEPP and reflects its requirements.

On 23 February 2021, Council adopted a new policy to manage tree and vegetation vandalism that ensures a consistent approach to the management of vandalism of trees and other vegetation on public land. The policy was updated following feedback from the community late last year, it reinforces our commitment to protecting our natural environment and gives us a range of tools, including education and enforcement, to manage unlawful damage to tress and vegetation.

Tree Removal

Trees are an essential part of nature. However, there are times when they can be a hazard to you, your family or your home. If your tree is dead or dying, or is in a dangerous location, tree removal may be the best option.

Stump Grinding

Can I remove a Palm Tree myself?


Palm trees are very heavy and can damage nearby structures. Removing a Palm Tree is hazardous work and should only be done by a professional tree removal company. However, if you must remove the tree yourself, you can save the tree for replanting by digging up the roots. If you want to remove the tree completely you can trim it gradually with a chainsaw. For your safety, and the safety of your family, work slowly to ensure that the palm tree comes down without incident.

How to Remove a Tree Stump.

There are a few different methods you can use to remove a tree stump:

  1. Grinding: This is the most common method for removing a tree stump. You can rent a stump grinder from a hardware store or hire company, or hire a professional to do the job for you. The grinder will chew away at the wood, turning the stump into small chips.
  2. Digging: If the tree stump is small, you may be able to dig it out using a shovel and pick. This is a labor-intensive process, and it may be difficult to remove the entire root system.
  3. Chemicals: You can also use chemicals to speed up the decomposition process. There are chemical stump removal products available at popular hardware stores that will help to accelerate the decomposition of the wood.
  4. Burning: If you have permission and it is safe to do so, you can also burn the tree stump. Keep in mind that this method is not recommended in areas with a high risk of bushfire.


Regardless of the method you choose, be sure to follow all safety precautions and use the appropriate protective gear.
