The removal of 26 existing trees which border this lot is unacceptable and in misalignment with a variety of state government policies, strategies and targets for increasing canopy cover in recognition of the significant impacts of urban heat. Even at a 2:1 or 3:1 replanting ratio, juvenile trees cannot replace the ecosystem services provided by mature trees for a number of years.
Strathfield council needs to act in alignment with its own policies on this and significantly scale back the removal of these trees.
