Council costs inside a Geelong quote
The councils' own 2026/27 gate fees: what a contractor pays when timber leaves the block. A planning permit, where one is needed, is priced on the state's fee schedule and is not a council line.
- Clean green waste at Drysdale LandfillPer tonne including GST and the EPA landfill levy, with a minimum charge of half a tonne. The chipped crown and brush off a job tip at this rate.$269.00
- Green waste at Anglesea, Surf Coast ShirePer cubic metre at the Anglesea transfer station, up to three cubic metres a load, where loads are priced by size rather than by weight.$43
- Tree stumps at Anglesea, Surf Coast ShirePer tonne at the Anglesea transfer station, with a minimum charge on small loads, which is why a ground-out stump is priced on its own.$55
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.
