Forest edge and the coastal walk
The coastal walking track in Wallarah National Park links Caves Beach with the headland just south of Pinny Beach, through a park known for its mix of forest types. Yards on the park side back onto that bush.
Since 2008 a surf club volunteer group has met each month to weed and restore the dune paddocks and escarpment behind the beach. Weeds spread from gardens are much of what they pull out.

How it works
From the first message to a written quote
The council question is settled before any price, and nothing is booked until you have said yes to a quote in writing.

Tell us what the tree is doing
Where it stands, what it hangs over and what you would like done about it.
- 2
A contractor comes to see it
A tree contractor who covers your suburb looks at the tree, the access and what is underneath it.
- 3
The council question is answered
Your council, the tree's height and trunk, its distance from the house and the species decide whether a permit or an exemption applies.
- 4
You get it in writing
Scope, timber, stump and date on one page, and nothing is booked until you have said yes.
Caves Beach questions
Fossils in the cliffs
What are the fossils in the cliffs?
In 2022 erosion and heavy rain exposed fossilised trunks and branches protruding from cliffs near Caves Beach. They are protected rock on public land, not timber.
Can a neighbour's overhanging limbs be cut?
In Lake Macquarie, native branches over the fence can be pruned to the boundary as long as pruning does not exceed 10% of the tree canopy. More than that needs an application.
Where should the cuttings go?
Council says pruning offcuts are green waste for your own bin and should never be thrown back over to the neighbour's side.
