1. When the state has lost such a huge number of animals and trees in the bushfires, removing large trees in NSW, even if they are exotic, seems anachronistic. We are at an ecological tipping point following the bushfires.

   Our wildlife has been forced to utilise the exotic vegetation with which we have replaced the native species, and now to remove the exotic trees as well is not kind. It would be better if the tree could remain and an alternative solution for the property owner's building plans could be found.

   At the very least it would be best to keep the tree during bird nesting season which ends after February, as many bird species have sought refuge in the city while the burnt forests recover.. They have lost their normal nesting sites and food. 80% of the Shoalhaven, south of Sydney was burnt out including 90% of its national parks. The Shoalhaven has lost 72% of its terrestrial animals and the bird loss has not yet been calculated..Our surviving wildlife is in extremis and we need to include this in consideration of any tree removal...

2. Please stop removing trees. We have already had a request for a camphor tree to be removed in Gibson Street.
   The birds and animals are needing these for nesting and there is no need to remove trees on public property
