    So more trees are to go.... For what reason other than greed of the developers. Surely they can "design" around the trees. Unley's target of 30% tree cover is looking more like minus 30% tree cover. With the new Planning Guidelines developers are being given carte blanc to do whatever they like..... Ignoring residents completely.

    Interesting comment above? We await Councillor Boisvert's response with interest.
    Meantime, when can this wilful removal of trees be stopped?. Why is it taking so long?

    Let's be clear that this & all the other developments currently & proposed have only come about because of John Rau & the changes he introduced & took the power away from council regarding such developments. Do not blame council -they are relatively powerless. Ironic that the Unley area is renowned for it's beautiful architecture & "village" atmosphere which is to be destroyed by the ghettos of tomorrow. Spare a thought for the residents of the adjoining streets such as Opey Ave which is a thoroughfare to KWR.

    Yes Gary I agree wholeheartedly - its heartbreaking to see the demolition of our precious heritage including our significant trees - 5 magnificent trees at the Opey Ave development will be chopped down. I am a member of FOCUS (Friends of the City of Unley Society) who along with other community groups, are doing their darndest to try and save our streetscapes. I urge people who are concerned about these issues to join FOCUS and add their voice to this campaign.
