What we do around Woy Woy.
Angophora-heavy blocks — managed by people who know the species.
The Woy Woy peninsula — Woy Woy, Umina Beach, Ettalong, Blackwall and Booker Bay — is heavy with Sydney red gum (Angophora costata) on sandy, free-draining soil. Angophora is a beautiful, gnarled, salmon-barked tree and a defining feature of the peninsula, but it's also the eucalypt most prone to sudden summer limb drop, shedding large limbs in still, hot weather without warning. Managing angophora well is about correct deadwooding and crown reduction to AS 4373 — never topping, which only makes the tree more dangerous — and knowing which limbs over a house genuinely need to come off.
RFS 10/50 bushfire clearing.
Large parts of the peninsula sit on RFS-mapped bushfire-prone land, hemmed by bushland and the Bouddi National Park escarpment. Where your property is inside the 10/50 Vegetation Clearing Entitlement Area (check your address on the NSW Rural Fire Service online tool), the code lets you clear trees within 10m of a home and underlying shrubs within 50m, without a separate Council approval, to reduce fuel near the house. We confirm eligibility against the RFS tool before relying on it, then create a proper defendable space — see land clearing & hazard-reduction.
Storm work — the peninsula cops it.
Sitting low and exposed between Brisbane Water and the ocean, the peninsula takes the full force of East Coast Lows, and angophora limb-drop spikes in big blows. We run 24/7 emergency and storm tree removal across Woy Woy, Umina and Ettalong — limbs on roofs, trees across driveways, leaners on fences — making the site safe first and planning the full removal after. For dead and dangerous trees generally, see tree removal.
