Why development is different in the Bunmarra / Roselands Ward
The Bunmarra / Roselands Ward combines established residential neighbourhoods with busy commercial centres and major transport corridors. Development ranges from residential renewal on established lots to townhouse, apartment, mixed-use and commercial projects around centres such as Lakemba and Roselands.
Common projects include new homes, knockdown rebuilds, duplex developments, townhouse developments, residential flat buildings, mixed-use developments, commercial alterations and childcare centres.
Many developments sit on constrained sites where retained trees influence building footprints, vehicle access, underground services and construction staging. Early arboricultural assessment allows these constraints to be identified before plans are finalised, helping reduce redesigns and supporting a smoother Development Application process.
Common tree constraints
Projects throughout the ward commonly involve mature street trees and established landscape trees, boundary trees and shared Tree Protection Zones, restricted construction access, driveway and crossover works, underground service installation, basement and footing excavation, and construction adjacent to retained trees.
Where trees are proposed for retention, Development Arborist Reports and Arboricultural Impact Assessments can identify Tree Protection Zones, Structural Root Zones and potential development impacts in accordance with AS 4970-2025.
Suburbs we service
Local development context for each suburb in the Bunmarra / Roselands Ward.
Belmore
An established, predominantly residential suburb within the ward.
Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills is split between Canterbury-Bankstown and Georges River councils. If your property is here, we can confirm which council tree controls apply before you proceed.
Kingsgrove
Kingsgrove is split across three local government areas: Canterbury-Bankstown, Bayside and Georges River councils. This is a council boundary, not a ward boundary, and the part of Kingsgrove within Canterbury-Bankstown sits entirely within this ward.
Lakemba
One of the ward’s busiest commercial and transport centres, where mixed-use and commercial-alteration proposals often need to work around mature street trees.
Narwee
An established, predominantly residential suburb within the ward.
Punchbowl
Punchbowl sits within the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA but is split between two Council wards: Darani / Bankstown and Bunmarra / Roselands. This does not affect which council tree controls apply, since the whole suburb is within Canterbury-Bankstown.
Riverwood
An established residential suburb within the ward.
Roselands
A major commercial centre for the ward, with established residential suburbs surrounding it.
Wiley Park
An established, predominantly residential suburb within the ward.

My property is in Punchbowl. Which ward applies?

Can street trees affect a Development Application in Lakemba or Roselands?
Yes. Street trees can need to be considered where proposed driveways, access, excavation, services or construction works occur within their Tree Protection Zones. The arboricultural assessment can identify potential impacts and appropriate protection requirements.
