If the tree roots pose an issue to sewerage and pool tiles, I would suggest a qualified arborist to undertake diligent root pruning, rather than removing the tree - regardless if the tree is an exotic. A reputable arborist would be able to undertake root pruning without damaging the tree; the benefit? the tree is saved for native fauna habitat, and the work will cost far less than removing the entire tree. Beecroft has lost far too many trees since 2011. Every tree must be preserved for the health of the community and out native fauna. Trees produce shade (protecting a person from the harsh rays of the sun, that result in skin cancer), oxygen, shelter, filter pollution and fights climate change. People move to Beecroft for the trees. Residents are the custodians of the trees not the owner; trees belong to the whole community regardless of there position on private or public land. Trees are the aesthetic, the integrity, the serenity of a community. We need more trees not less.
