Pottsville is a family coastal town that backs onto real bushland and koala country. That makes the tree work here more about getting the protection and the wildlife side right than anywhere else on the coast, because the penalties for getting it wrong are real.
The thing that sets Pottsville apart is the koala habitat. The Black Rocks corridor and the bushland edges mean the primary koala feed trees here are always protected, and clearing that’s likely to disturb fauna needs a licensed wildlife spotter-catcher on site. We plan around that as standard, because it’s both the law and the right thing to do.
Beyond that it’s the usual coastal mix, plus the bushland-interface blocks where bushfire hazard reduction comes into play, and the low-lying spots full of paperbarks. Whatever the tree, we tell you straight whether it’s a category council protects, write a scope that matches what they’ll want to see, and make sure nothing gets cut before the approval is sighted.
When the big coastal blows come through, Pottsville and Mooball cop their share of storm damage, and the low-lying paperbark country can leave access soft and tight to work in. We carry the gear to reach trees on the wetter blocks without chewing up the ground, and we deal with the genuinely dangerous stuff first. Where a fallen or hung-up tree is a primary koala feed tree, the protection rules still hold even in a cleanup, so we make the limb or the property safe and then sort the paperwork properly rather than cutting first and explaining later. We’re AQF Level 3 and carry $20M public liability, and we’re based at Bilambil Heights, so we’re not far up the coast. Call 0474 250 832.
