Bushfire close to Wyee homes
Nearly eighty firefighters and a water bombing helicopter were needed to contain a large bushfire at Wyee one October. The next day it flared again and came within 100 metres of homes, and residents were evacuated.
The year after, the Rural Fire Service was running a hazard reduction burn at Wyee when a sudden wind change pushed the fire across the road. Trees and dead wood close to a house are what carry a fire that far.

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.

You get it in writing
Scope, timber, stump and date on one page, and nothing is booked until you have said yes.
Wyee questions
Wind storms on the south-west shore
Do storms bring trees down in Wyee?
They have. In wild storms at the end of February 2024 a roof at Wyee was torn off, and the south-western side of Lake Macquarie was battered by strong winds, downing trees and damaging property.
Can a dead tree come down without approval?
Sometimes. The state vegetation SEPP sets the permit aside where the council is satisfied a tree is dying or dead and is not needed as habitat for native animals. The council makes that call, not the owner.
Where does the green waste go?
Lake Macquarie's Awaba facility takes garden waste and charges according to the weight and type of waste, with every vehicle weighed in and out.
