10/50 Vegetation Clearing Sydney
The NSW 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Scheme allows eligible landowners in designated 10/50 zones to remove trees within 10 metres of a home and clear vegetation within 50 metres without council approval, as long as all work follows NSW Rural Fire Service guidelines.

10/50 Tree Removal Legislation FAQ
Handling vegetation clearing or tree removal on your property can be a challenging task due to the various factors that need to be addressed. Ensuring safety, avoiding disputes with neighbours, and complying with council regulations all add to the difficulty.
Can anyone clear vegetation under the 10/50 Rule?
Only properties inside the RFS 10/50 entitlement zone can clear trees within 10 metres and vegetation within 50 metres.
Does the rule apply to sheds?
No, it only applies to habitable buildings such as homes and tourist accommodation.
Do I need my neighbour’s permission?
Yes. If the tree is on their property, you must have their approval for pruning or removal.
Is clearing allowed near creeks or rivers?
Not within 10 metres of major waterways. We ensure all clearing respects riparian guidelines.
What about wildlife?
We check for nests and native animals before clearing and follow NSW wildlife protections.
Do I need council approval for land clearing on my property?
In many parts of Sydney, council approval is required before any significant clearing can begin, especially if native vegetation or protected species are involved. We help you understand what applies to your site and can guide you through the compliance maze so your project stays above board and stress-free.
How long does a typical land clearing job take?
Timeframes depend on the size of the block, site access, vegetation density, and whether debris removal is included. Smaller residential lots may take a day, while larger or more complex blocks may span several days. Once we complete your site assessment, we’ll give you a precise schedule so you can plan the next steps with confidence.
What happens to the cleared vegetation and green waste?
All green waste is removed, mulched, or recycled according to local regulations. If you want to reuse mulch on-site, for erosion control, landscaping, or soil health, we can arrange that too. Nothing is left behind except a clean, ready-to-use block.
