Dear Mayor,Councillors and staff,
Please see the attached photos of the two mature trees ( a pine and a gum) that will soon be destroyed if you do not take urgent action.
The third photo of the Moreton Bay Fig tree is to remind Council of the senseless destruction that took place in Curtin Avenue some months ago after I was issued with a "move on " notice and prevented from protecting the tree. How many more of our iconic trees will be destroyed in our "leafy" suburbs?
In a letter of response to me regarding the removal of the mature trees for its transmisson line works, Western Power advised that:
"As mentioned in The Post article, one of the options Western Power considered involved retaining the two trees. The options were presented to officers from the Town of Cottesloe and it was determined that the preferred option would involve the removal of the trees"
There would appear to be no good reason as to why the line cannot be relocated further to the east and the trees retained. The Tree Benefits provided to the community and wildlife by large trees cannot be replaced.
Your urgent intervention is required to preserve these trees.
Regards
Alex, and all of us who care for trees!
