Here is a copy of the email I sent to Logan City Council in March last year. Also since then I have numerously told them via phone of the problem.
Please note, the video link etc all works still today and you can view the video I shot back then.
Seems when advice is free it's not worth much. You must watch the video 1st.

There's a series of pics attached for you to see what happened. Also note the warnings in the email, I wonder how many tree loppers would have climbed that if it were a removal ... after all if you are insured and cheap that's all that matters doesn't it?
I put extra commas in email addresses to prevent spam if any scum bag bots are watching here. Quote:

Subject: Bunya pine at Winnetts Rd round-a-bout Shailer Park
Hi
I encourage you to watch this video regarding an extremely hazardous tree.
The video is 2.38mins long and 12.89MB in file size, in WMV streaming format so it will buffer.

Personally, it's within striking distance of the all roads and frankly I would be cutting that down ASAP! Also, the area is earmarked for future highway expansion so might possibly get the chop anyway, but I wouldn't be waiting too long if I were you guys.
Did you know that the big Bunya pine in Toptaste Barkery on Gympie road Kedron failed not long ago and fell across 4 lanes of traffic during the day, by miracle no-one was injured as the traffic lights down the road were red! Chances of that are incredible, usually you'll have a solid 4 lanes of traffic in the afternoon. That failure didn't look as bad as thisd tree for VTA.

PS: I would be insisting a tower be used for this removal due to the high risk of failure.
