From the blog comments on that article.
Quote:
The St Lucia Golf Links - owned and operated by the BCC - is currently: * trashing the remaining Sandy Creek frog habitats and reed beds in oder to help hackers stop losing their balls; * building a 1.5m dollar 800m, unconnected, unnecessary, inappropriate "shared path' for cyclists and "walkers" through BCC Heritage-cited trescape. To do that Council has GIVEN ITSELF permission to cut down 39 mature and native trees and threaten 100 more with root damage; * Then, to "protect" only the notional users of the dead-end new path, Council is going to erect a 3.2m high, canted top, dense black mesh fence to line the whole of the new path section, thus barricading the listed views and public open space away from the public and the hundreds of people who drive and cycle on Hillside Terrace every day because it is beautiful.
One rule for Council, and one for the rest of us . . .

I read somewhere the tree was 25m high and 30m wide. I'd estimate the tree to be 25 tonnes and soil lift around 110 tonnes.
I'd say the costing was about right for a tree that large, they would have used a low loader not cranes and perhaps two or three large trucks to shunt it across.
