| This is not the tree concerned just an exemplar. |
You
might have read the story about the regulated trees in this week's paper. According
to the story the neighbours pruned two regulated trees while to owner was away
on holidays. Imagine her surprise when she got home. This pruning was estimated
to be 90% foe one tree and 50% for the other. By law up to 30% of the canopy of
a regulated tree can be pruned without development approval. A similar, but different
case is brewing in Unley at another location. As Councillors we are continually
told that we are not working hard enough to protect the tree canopy on both
public and private property and yet I have not heard one election promise over
the last few weeks that would have the potential to alter the seemingly
downward trend. However, when Council takes court action the cost to rate
payers has the potential to be eye watering.
