 Re: how much is that doggy in the window?
Yeah, it's dumb alright. It's like a top secret that you cant get on the net.
All roads lead to Rome should be the motto, one database for all trees that are protected so people like us can access. In there they can have the categories of protection.
But we're talking govt and depts and federal/state etc.
Have a look at what happened when BCC had VPO's on a State Govt school, QBuild just butcher the trees (or their dumb assed contractors) and the council cant do shit.
I even got on to the dept of natural resources who got bugger all to say coz their VPO's are different to BCC's and they dont give a crap about individual trees per se'
What we have is a segmented management system that frankly needs a good overhaul for the trees sake.
Why if there's protected trees on a development site do they even allow subdivision so those trees end up disected onto 500m2 lots where then they end up in the middle of some-ones lounge room so the tree must go? That's just dumb.
The reason why all this happens is because right fromt he start no-one recognizes protection zones (radius) or the implications and designs around them. |
