City of Gold Coast costs inside a quote
The City's own fees from 1 July 2026: what a contractor pays at the waste and recycling centre gate, and what a tree works application costs when the City must approve the work first.
- Commercial green waste from inside the CityPer tonne including GST at the City's waste and recycling centres, with a minimum charge on small loads. The chipped crown and brush off a job tip at this rate; a household load of only green waste is free.$124.50
- Tree works application, one to three treesPer application, for tree works not tied to a development application, where the City Plan protects the tree.$210.00
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.
