5x protected by law trees to be removed?! These are ALL protected under the VPO3 and should be upheld. This is not an acceptable approach and doesn’t align with the Urban Forest Strategy or Climate Emergency policy let alone the local laws.
How does anyone think that removing 5 protected trees from a block is acceptable! The trees on this block are in great health and would effect the wild life, climate emergency policy and urban forest strategy. This needs to be rejected as allowing these 5 healthy VPO 3 protected trees to be removed unnecessarily is obscene!!!! If you want to build a development choose a block that doesn't have VPO 3 trees on the block!
There's no way Bayside Council will go close to meeting stated Tree Canopy and climate emergency policy goals if it allows the continual removal of established trees that are viable specimens, currently provide shade, amenity and habitat.
Bayside is dying by a thousand cuts (trees) a year. It's got to stop.
