1. This is yet another of the approximately 70 trees removed in the Parramatta City Council area each month. The loss of this tree will make Epping a much less desirable suburb in which to live. The loss of all these trees is bad for the environment as well as ruining the appearance of the suburb. There is no report attached to show there has been a review to ensure these 5 trees are not native species to the area. From what I have read the trees are not diseased and there is no valid reason given for them to require removal. Epping is a leafy suburb and we need to preserve these trees for the enjoyment of future generations as well as providing habitat for our wildlife.

2. I fully endorse Ms MsCartney's comments. Preserving trees is a vital part of maintaining a healthy environment. This will become an increasingly important consideration in view of the unprecedented increase in building and population occurring in Epping.

   Removal of trees is necessary from time to time, such as when trees are diseased or unsafe, but the excessive destruction of trees that seems to be happening at present should be curtailed. This is important not only for the environment of Epping but as part of Australia's contribution to greenhouse gas reduction.
