8 Bon Accord Avenue Bondi Junction NSW 2022

Remove one (1) Eucalyptus from corner of backyard and replace with one (1) native species. This tree is unsuitable and unsustainable in its location, and has a number of structural defects including evidence of damage caused by Longicorn beetles, and included bark. It has the potential to drop large branches, presenting an unacceptable level of risk to the residents. The large wound, in the leader to the North West where a branch was removed, is a weak point and is showing signs of decay. There is evidence of included bark between the two main leaders. As the tree grows the narrow union will essentially fill with bark and create a growing area of structural weakness in the tree. It is likely that stress put on the either of the co-dominant stems can cause splitting, or the stem to break off at the junction. As a tree ages and grows, included bark becomes more of a danger to the surrounding trees and property.

I cannot find any documentation on council’s website pertaining to this application.
If the only reason is to provide more sun or grow grass or some other reason like not wanting to rake leaves, then it should be refused. I am saddened by the innumerable requests to remove trees, particularly native ones, in our LGA. Our native animals are doing it tough in this era of massive environmental destruction. The cumulative effects of tree culling in our area is frankly, incomprehensible.
