Tree removal in Windsor: what's local

Flood country

The Hawkesbury-Nepean Valley has had more than 130 moderate to major floods since records began in 1790. The March 2021 flood was the first major one since 1990, and the valley has had 8 floods since 2020. Trees on the flats have stood in a lot of water lately.

Your council is in George Street

Hawkesbury City Council, at 366 George Street, Windsor, handles tree approvals for the town. Its forms are an Application for Tree / Vegetation Removal Permit and a Request for Written Confirmation for Tree / Vegetation Removal or Pruning. Ring council to ask which one fits your tree.

Old woodland on the plain

Hawkesbury is one of the council areas where Cumberland Plain Woodland is known. Its Grey Box and Forest Red Gum are part of a community now listed as critically endangered.

Endeavour lines

The poles and wires are Endeavour Energy's. A tree on a line is theirs to clear.

Tree removal in Windsor: good to know

Saturated soil loosens a tree's grip. Once the water's down, look from a distance for a new lean, cracked or heaving soil around the base, or roots lifting on one side.

Silt and rubbish piled against a trunk can be cleared by hand if it's safe to reach from the ground. Leave anything caught up in the branches for an arborist.

NSW's 2026 rules apply here too: protected dead and dying trees now need a permit, and a tree can only come down as an imminent risk once council agrees in writing.

Hiring an arborist in Windsor

If a tree near the house has shifted after a flood, we'd keep everyone out of where it could fall and get an arborist's written opinion first. With that in hand, we'd ring council to ask for written confirmation before anything is cut.

Tree removal and arborists in Windsor: common questions

Who clears a tree the flood left on my Windsor property?

NSW SES volunteers give temporary help to keep a home safe; for permanent repairs, the SES says to contact your insurer or a private contractor. Photograph everything before it's moved, then talk to your insurer before booking anyone.

Does the 10/50 rule apply on the river at Windsor?

Only where the RFS online tool shows your lot in an entitlement area on the day you clear. Even then, 10/50 excludes clearing within 10 metres of a lake or river at least 2 metres wide. Our 10/50 guide explains the rest.
