    At the back? My guess it’s a jacaranda tree.

    And the big one looks like a Jacaranda as already said by @Noobieboy. Purple flowers in October/November.

    And the middle left looks like a Parlour Palm. Maybe someone planted their indoor pot plant in the garden?

    LOL. Thanks all. Jacaranda is correct for a hundred dollars.

    I guess the next question is - given it's a Jacaranda (native to South America according to wikipedia) and given its position, can I chop it down?

    NO, I like Jacarandas! Even though they are not natives, bloom for short time, look beautiful, and make a dangerous mess below, why????

    Also looks like a species of alpinia (ginger) growing under the jacaranda. Sorry I don't know if you can chop it down, but I know the teeny leaves are a pain in the gutter.

    Some council websites have species which are protected and others which are 'weeds' and how tall/girth they need to be before you need approval etc

    The colors in that cocktail have sparked my senses into overdrive. Time for an early Cosmo Rita me thinks.

    Where is the house located? I know in BCC for example they are a bit sensitive about certain significant tree species, snip below indicating 80cm trunk as a guideline for Jacarandas for example.

    I like Jacarandas but that one is way too close for the house, they have massive surface root systems. I would quietly "prune" it if it were my house.

    Thanks, looks like it can go under CDC as part of a complying development, provided it's under 8m (which it will be after a solid prune) and not a native (it's not). Boom.
