1. I object to the removal of 8 trees at 60 Eastwood Avenue Eastwood which backs onto Edna Hunt Reserve . This is an important group of trees that form part of the Powerful Owl habitat in Edna Hunt Reserve. If these trees are removed Parramatta council will also be responsible for the decline of Powerful Owls in Sydney (just 200 exist in the greater Sydney region).
   Remove the development not the trees.

2. As a long time resident of our beautiful city of Sydney I an very concerned about the removal of trees at 60 Eastwood Avenue Eastwood. I urge council to reject this development on the grounds that it will destroy Powerful Owl habitat.

   Remove the development not the trees. There are other places humans can live. Save the habitat for our wildlife. We need to give it the respect it deserves.

4. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this DA/636/2017 and associated request to remove 8 trees at 60 Eastwood Avenue Eastwood which as highlighted in the Heritage Report is within the Epping/ Eastwood Conservation Area and has a rear boundary on a Protected Biodiversity area.
   The Edna Hunt Sanctuary is significant not only for its critically endangered Blue Gum High Forest, but for its flora and fauna. The removal of 8 trees will have a detrimental impact on the Terrys Creek wildlife corridor and result in further loss of our urban tree canopy and habitat of the Powerful Owl, which is listed as a vulnerable species in NSW.
   The comment on page 7 of the Heritage Report “It also poses certain security issues with an incident of a trespasser who was found on the property and had gotten in unnoticed due to the dense blockage of the trees. Therefore it is in the best interest of the existing residents as well as the potential residents of the proposed secondary dwelling to have a clearly visible dwelling that allows ample sunlight access to the new dwelling whilst maintaining a smaller number of substantial trees in their surround” is not an acceptable reason to remove 8 trees.
   I trust Council will reject the application on the above grounds, and on the basis there is no provision for additional car parking.
