1. Hi
   More Balmain trees to be felled. Why?
   And if there is some reason (dead, dying, damage to existing - not new - structure) then is there a requirement in this DA that suitable replacement tree/s are planted and nurtured to a mature state?
   If not, why?
   We Balmain peninsular residents are fed up with the number of trees being cut down. This is an election issue.
   Thank you

2. Absolutely agree Michael. If a tree needs felling, the DA should be rejected!😡

3. Michael,

   Whilst I admire your passion in saving trees, I suggest you learn the planning process before imposing your personal view (not "residents") to ensure it's relevant and not seen as cut and paste spam (which is what it obviously is)

   This application is for an OC, so the work is done. The approval to do the work and remove the trees was given on the 8th of March 2016, 3 years ago. The trees are probably long gone.

   I suggest you adjust the cut and paste comment that you have been posting for over a year to be aimed at new DA's, be relevant to the specific DA, and maybe the supposed "election issue" for you is a little out of date considering local, state & federal elections are some way off?

   Comments on DAs should be relevant. This isn't.

4. Michael & Ash,
   Are you aware of the difference in applicants here? You seem to comment on every tree issue that arrises. Have you ever read Council's tree protection order or Council's proposed tree policy which is now under public review? I suspect not. Your rants are ill informed and waste Council's time as they need to be addressed in Council DA reports. If you just shoot from the hip without even checking the details of the various applications you will not be taken seriously when it comes to a time when it does matter.

   If you are so passionate about trees why not sign up to Inner West Council's, Community Engagement Environmental Committee and do something constructive.
