Expert Arborist Reports Across Fairfield Parks Ward
Parks Ward covers much of western Fairfield City.
Representative areas include Wetherill Park, part of Smithfield, Bossley Park, Bonnyrigg, Bonnyrigg Heights, Greenfield Park, Edensor Park, St Johns Park, Prairiewood, Abbotsbury, Fairfield West, Mount Pritchard, Wakeley, Cecil Park and Horsley Park. The ward has a much broader development mix than Fairfield/Cabravale: it includes established suburban neighbourhoods, major industrial and employment areas, parkland and larger western-edge properties. This means arboricultural work can range from one residential tree to large commercial or development sites containing numerous mature trees.
Which Arborist Report Do You Need?
Residential Canopy, Industrial Sites & Western Properties
Bossley Park, Bonnyrigg, Greenfield Park, Edensor Park and St Johns Park contain established residential properties where mature trees can interact with additions, pools, driveways and redevelopment.
Wetherill Park and Smithfield contain some of Western Sydney's largest industrial and employment areas. Commercial and industrial development can involve large building footprints, car parks, heavy-vehicle access, stormwater infrastructure, service trenches, boundary works, multiple retained trees, and landscaping requirements.
Abbotsbury and Prairiewood contain established residential neighbourhoods with larger open-space systems. Horsley Park and Cecil Park have a more semi-rural character with larger properties and scattered mature trees.

Fairfield Council Tree Guidelines in Parks Ward
The same broad Tree Work Permit requirements apply throughout Parks Ward. Council approval should generally be checked before tree removal or significant pruning unless the tree falls within a recognised exemption.
Larger development sites may also trigger broader biodiversity or ecological assessment where significant vegetation is affected. A current Fairfield site-specific development control also provides that Council may require an AQF Level 5 Arboriculture Report where development proposes removal or substantial pruning of trees.
Replacement planting: one replacement tree of the applicant's choice (not an exempt species) is planted for every approved removal, with the specific requirement confirmed against the Tree Work Permit or Development Consent conditions.
Emergency Tree Assessment
For urgent potentially hazardous trees, Fairfield directs property owners to an AQF Level 5 Consulting Arborist. Where the emergency criteria are satisfied, the arborist must provide Council with written and photographic evidence supporting the required work.

Frequently Asked Questions
They can be. Larger industrial sites may require Tree Surveys, development-impact assessment and detailed Tree Protection Plans.
Yes. Council generally approves removal where a tree is dead or dying, a safety hazard, or has caused serious structural damage with no reasonable alternative. An arborist report documents the tree's condition, defects, risk and any development impacts, giving Council the evidence it needs to assess the application.
Yes. A Tree Survey or AIA can assess larger tree populations on larger properties.
Yes. Fairfield's development controls can require ecological assessment where vegetation of significance is proposed for removal.
Yes. Fairfield's current permit process generally requires a replacement tree for each approved removal, subject to the specific conditions issued.
Almost always, unless a specific exemption applies. Council's Exempt Trees List exempts Council's undesirable species (identified in writing by a qualified arborist or horticulturalist), trees under 4 metres high with a branch span under 3 metres and a trunk diameter under 75 mm at 1 metre above ground (except within the Cumberland Plain Critically Endangered Ecological Community), and a few other specific circumstances. Everything else needs a Tree Work Permit. Council generally approves removal where a tree is dead, diseased and not expected to survive, a safety hazard, or has caused extensive structural damage with no repair alternative. For standalone private-tree removal or pruning questions unrelated to development, Fairfield City Council's Tree Removal & Pruning page sets out the current application process.
