Linwood st & Pine Mountain Rd Carindale hazard trees ATT BCC

Eric Frei · 14th June 2007, 04:55 PM

Opposite the T-Junction intersection, right by the bus stop.

I did a job in the area today and was driving out of Linwood st when I spotted these guys.

Only had my ph to take a pic, but the east tree (closest to the bus stop) was splitting ... plenty of daylight there. The west tree not that much better. Couple of bad co-dominants.

Anyway, chuck the pics up here then email BCC with a link to thread and they can see for themselves. Busy spot actually and the bus stop, well that just adds to the target value (people).

This is the pic of the intersection showing the trees

Also, there's many trees along that stretch that need attention, some dead ones, UNSUITABLE FOR HABITAT RETENTION!

These Trees certainly fit the removal requirement,they both present as dangerous with potential targets in the possible killzone..me I would condem them.In the name of public saftey.Also I would replace them with a suitable species.

See, they're reasonably user friendly if you know your way around.

So they are going to wait until they are "in the area" in AUGUST, before doing a vta? You need to bullshit them and get their arborist out there on an urgent and hazardous.
