Compliance in Nowra

Local rules approvals and the 10/50 scheme

Tree work in the Shoalhaven often needs consent, and the details can be confusing. Shoalhaven City Council defines when pruning or removal on private land is permitted, including trunk size thresholds and the long standing 45 degree rule in specific cases. Nowra Tree Service clarifies what applies to your address, documents scope, and coordinates any council paperwork when consent is required. In mapped bushfire prone areas, the NSW RFS 10/50 Scheme may allow tree removal within 10 metres of a home and clearing within 50 metres, subject to current maps and exclusions. We confirm eligibility, manage risks near utilities, and complete work to SafeWork NSW standards.

In many cases yes. Approval depends on species, trunk diameter, location and risk. We assess your site and advise whether consent is required before any work proceeds.
It is a long standing local reference applied in specific circumstances. Its use depends on current Council rules and documented evidence. We confirm applicability before recommending action.
If your property is within the mapped area, trees may be removed within 10 metres of a home and underlying vegetation within 50 metres, subject to exclusions and the latest online maps.
Work near electrical assets must follow safety distances and network requirements. We plan methods, set up controls and liaise with the provider when needed to keep the site safe.
Typical documentation includes risk assessments, SWMS, photos, disposal records and insurance certificates, with job details recorded for strata or commercial property managers.

Know before you cut

Checks include overlays and exemptions, trunk diameter at breast height, species protections and proximity to structures, ensuring pruning or removal plans that achieve clearance while complying with local controls.

10/50 eligibility check

If your property is in a mapped 10/50 area, we verify distances, slope and exclusions such as waterways or heritage items, then schedule compliant works with barricades and spotters.
