- Large garden organics loadIncluding GST, more than a cubic metre but under half a tonne, such as a full box trailer or ute.$37.00
- Domestic vegetation clearing application, Sunshine Coast CouncilPer application, GST exempt, where the planning scheme needs an approval before a tree comes down.$385
- Green waste by weight, Noosa ShirePer tonne including GST for a weighed load at Noosa's waste facilities.$75.00
- Tree removal application for one tree, Noosa ShirePer application, with no GST, and a smaller fee for each further tree.$124.00
How this works
- We place your tree inside the published price band for its height using its trunk width: the band is cut into three equal slots, narrow, medium and wide, and the tree takes its slot, never outside the band.
- Stump grinding is priced by stump width from the GoTreeQuotes table by stump width (a palm stump at the low end, a hardwood stump at the high end). Storm work and mulching on site are priced by the contractor: no published guide gives a figure, so the calculator does not invent one.
- Green waste removal is quoted by the cubic metre, so it is shown per cubic metre and the contractor measures the load.
