1. Sounds very reasonable

2. I am concerned with not only the removal of trees, but also the lack of follow-up to ensure that planning directions to plant replacement trees are not followed through. For example Trade Link on Blaxland Rd Eastwood was told to plant replacement trees. This has not been done even though I have phoned the council and sent two emails. I was told by the council that they rely on neighbours reporting that trees have not been replaced!

3. I am also concerned about the number of trees being removed and not replaced. Is it mandatory that these trees be replaced? From my experience once removed no new tree is ever re-planted in the majority of cases.

4. I agree with Ms Perram. Parramatta Council should have a MANDATORY replacement policy for street trees. I think the non-replacement of trees may be dependent on the resident owner requesting a replacement. Councils have better varieties of trees that do not interfere with electricity wires and other infrastructure; so each Council needs to enforce and promote replacement tree planting.
