The storm that hit Lambton hardest
When the storm of January 2026 uprooted trees across Newcastle, Lambton and Waratah were the worst hit areas, with most SES calls for trees down.
Howling wind and sideways rain arrived together. Trees that lose grip in waterlogged soil and then meet a strong gust are the ones that fail first.
Big trees close to houses on older blocks are the ones to look at before the next season of storms.

Lambton questions
Storm calls and the old park trees
What did the January storm do here?
In one part of the suburb a large tree snapped in front of the home of a resident, while stormwater rose almost knee high in a yard nearby.
Are the park trees the council's?
Yes. The trees around the colonial rotunda and the natural water course in the park are public land and council work.
Is a tree next to the pool exempt?
In Newcastle a tree within 3m of the edge of a pool, or of the house, is exempt from the permit, measured from the trunk, unless heritage rules apply.
