Frequently Asked Questions – Emergency Tree Removal
Do I Need Council Approval for Emergency Tree Removal?
No permit is required if a tree poses immediate danger. However, formal documentation is still required.
Lake Macquarie City Council allows emergency removal where a tree presents an immediate safety risk to people or property. Council and insurers typically require a Level 5 Arborist Report confirming the condition of the tree, the cause of failure, and that works were undertaken lawfully under emergency provisions.
Can Emergency Tree Removal Be Carried Out Immediately After a Storm?
Yes. Emergency works may proceed immediately where there is risk to people or property.
Storm-damaged trees that have failed or are likely to fail can be removed without prior approval. Our arborists attend site urgently, carry out make-safe works, and prepare post-event documentation for Council compliance and insurance claims.
Will Insurance Require an Arborist Report?
Most insurers require arborist documentation to support tree-failure claims.
Insurance providers commonly request written confirmation from a Level 5 Arborist outlining the tree’s condition, failure mechanism and whether the damage resulted from a sudden, unavoidable event rather than deferred maintenance. This is provided through a formal Arborist Report.
What If Only Part of the Tree Has Failed?
Partial failures still require assessment of the remaining tree’s safety.
Where a limb or section has failed, Council and insurers often require confirmation that the remaining tree is stable or requires further works. We assess residual risk and document whether retention, pruning or full removal is required through a Level 5 Arborist Report.
