Tree services in Nundah: what we see and what we do
Nundah has a village centre on Sandgate Road and streets of Queenslanders and 1920s to 50s homes around it, with Kalinga Park and Kedron Brook on the southern side. The trees are old and big: Moreton Bay figs and jacarandas on the wider streets, camphor laurels and mangoes in the yards, and leopard trees and poincianas planted later. Blocks near the village are being redeveloped for units, and the older trees are often the first thing in the way.
Nundah is about 40 minutes for us via the Gateway Bridge. Fig and camphor laurel dismantles, jacaranda reductions and pre-development clearing are the typical jobs. Trees may be protected under Brisbane City Council's Natural Assets Local Law 2003, and older suburbs have more significant trees on the register, though a trunk within 3 metres of the house or under 30 centimetres diameter is generally exempt, and we check the mapping before quoting (council fact sheet). All pruning is to AS 4373-2007.
Things to watch on Nundah properties
- Moreton Bay fig roots under Queenslander stumps and driveways
- Camphor laurels on small blocks lifting fences and paths
- Significant old trees that may be listed by council

Brisbane City Council rules for Nundah trees
Most of the northside is Brisbane City Council, where the Natural Assets Local Law 2003 applies and the council fact sheet exempts trees within 3 metres of the house, trees under 30cm trunk diameter, dead and hazardous trees, and pruning of up to 20 per cent of foliage a year. Albany Creek, Strathpine, North Lakes and everything north of the Pine River is the City of Moreton Bay, which protects habitat trees and koala habitat through its planning scheme overlays and says you may need approval before clearing. We check whichever mapping applies to your address before quoting.
