    I would like to request for the City of Parramatta Council (Council) to run an education program ASAP on the value of trees and tree management. Firstly there are products which can be put into the drains to remove tree roots from the sewer. This tree removal application does not identify whether this has been trialled before the removal of this mature tree. Secondly children have been playing under trees and climbing trees for 1000's of years. The applicantion does not include an arborist's report to demonstrate that the trees poses a risk. Thirdly on face value this application appears as if the applicant does not like trees near their home. However, Epping is a leafy suburb and having trees in our properties and parks is part of the reason why many choose to live in Epping. I would like to request that the Council provides written notices to the neighbours of this property to see how the removal of these trees will affect the neighbourhood and get the opinion of neighbours. Fourthly they note one tree is too close to the public footpath. Surely the risk this presents to passers by needs to be assessed by Council and not the land owner. I like walking under trees which overhang the footpaths. I am able to assess the risk and do not see the need to have a tree removed just because it might fall on me. Epping cannot sustain the 100s of trees being removed and remain a liveable suburb.

    This is a beautiful big tree, Epping is fast loosing its status as a beautiful leafy neighbourhood. We should not be removing mature trees like this. The council needs to look more closely at these applications and a detailed aborist report should be provided.
