Brisbane.
Always more developing, more shops, more houses, expand expand ... up here there's lots of it.
The tree ordinances are under local council rule so varies a lot from place to place, some protected some not, and some good decisions made and some bad.
What is poor is that if trees are retained that there's no Tree Protection Zone so they get clobbered by dozers, roots shredded etc .... other places put bonds on trees and enforce saving them.
Just depends where you are and what council it is .... and of course the type of trees and development. However, we certainly as a species like to screw nature as much as we can.
