General information only
Everything published on centralcoasttreecare.com.au is general information. It is not professional advice and it is not tailored to your property, your tree or your circumstances.
Trees are individual. Two spotted gums of the same age on neighbouring blocks can require completely different work because of soil, exposure, root condition, structural defects and what is beneath them. Nothing on this site substitutes for a qualified arborist standing in front of your tree.
Not arboricultural advice
Articles describing tree condition, disease, structural defects and failure modes are written to help you know what to look for and what questions to ask. They are not a diagnosis.
Do not decide to remove, retain, prune or ignore a tree on the basis of a web page. If a tree concerns you, have it assessed on site by someone qualified.
Not legal advice
Pages describing Central Coast Council's vegetation provisions, New South Wales legislation, tree protection, penalties, neighbour disputes and liability are an orientation to the framework, not advice on your situation.
Regulations change. Council provisions, state legislation, network operator requirements and court interpretations may have been amended since publication. Verify anything you intend to rely on directly with the relevant authority, and obtain your own legal advice where the stakes warrant it.
Not insurance advice
Pages describing what home insurance typically covers are general observations. Policies differ substantially between insurers and between products. Your policy wording and product disclosure statement govern your cover, not this website. Speak to your insurer.
Referral arrangement
This is a referral website. Central Coast Tree Care passes enquiries to independent tree contractors operating across the Central Coast of New South Wales and does not perform tree work itself.
Any contract for work is between you and the contractor. The contractor is responsible for the quote, the work, the workmanship, the insurance and any warranty. We do not supervise, direct or guarantee their work, and we do not warrant their licensing, insurance or qualifications — those are matters for you to confirm with them directly before work starts.
Pricing
Any figures, ranges or cost indications published here are general information drawn from what has previously been published about this market. They are not quotes, they are not offers, and no contractor is bound by them.
Actual price depends on the specific tree, site, access, method, species and approvals, and can only be established by an on-site inspection.
Safety
Tree work is dangerous. Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to carry out tree work yourself.
In particular: never work near electrical conductors. A tree or limb in contact with a power line is an emergency for the electricity network operator, not a job for a tree contractor or a property owner. Keep well clear and ring the electricity emergency number.
Accuracy and availability
The information here is provided in good faith and believed accurate at the time of publication. No warranty is given as to its accuracy, completeness or currency. The site may contain errors and may be unavailable at times.
External links
This site links to third-party websites and embeds third-party content. We do not control them, do not endorse them by linking, and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices.
Limitation
To the maximum extent permitted by law, no liability is accepted for any loss or damage arising from use of this site or reliance on its content. Nothing here excludes any right or guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
