1. I object to the request and approval to remove a Sydney Blue Gum tree Eucalyptus Saigna as this tree is classify by Hornsby Council as "Critically Endangered at both State and Federal levels. Much of the former range of this tree has been extensively cleared, the balance is highly threatened by weed invasion and highly altered ecological processes."

   There are even less Sydney Blue Gum trees in the Leichhardt Council area so this should be seen with alarm. Also, this tree can live to 200 years

   Hornsby Council also found it "is an important species for hollow dependant fauna. When in flower the tree provides nectar resources for a diverse range of birds as well as
   flying foxes."

   The Balmain area cannot afford to lose more tree and it is important to keep this tree for the survival of local birdlife.

   I would request that this approval be reviewed as as far as I know it was not listed on Planning Alerts planningalerts.org giving others the chance to lodge an objection in time.
