About Forestdale

Forestdale is a rural residential development to the west of Browns Plains. The name of Forestdale is due to the lack of tree clearance as opposed to the surrounding suburbs. According to the modern day English, “Forest” is the word meaning a dense growth of trees and “Dale” meaning a man who lived in the valley which originated from Middle English.

Many streets in Forestdale are named after characters from Robin Hood stories.

The Greenwood Lakes wetland is found in Forestdale which has high conservation values. Visitors may undertake bird watching, walking dogs, bush walking and using the picnic tables.

The population of Forestdale according to the 2011 census was 2,520 people living there.

Areas that surround Forestdale include suburbs Heathwood, Larapinta, Parkinson, Greenbank, Hillcrest, Boronia Heights & Browns Plains.

The suburb is residential in nature with most houses sitting on small and larger acreage blocks accompanied with many trees ranging in heights and sizes. It is important to do maintenance to these trees to minimise potential damage to homes.  Call Treesafe today for tree lopping and pruning services in Forestdale.

It is important to note that a council permit may be required in order to remove a tree depending on whether it is protected by a Vegetation Protection Order (VPO). You will need to contact your local council for more information on removing a tree. Alternatively, you can ring Treesafe for more information or advice on VPO’s. See our contact list below:
