I would like to make a submission against the removal of a tree at this address. There is an awareness now that we need a 30% plus tree canopy to protect residents of Whitehorse as a result of increasing and potentially extreme heat. Furthermore in areas where there are healthy numbers of trees wind speeds are reduced. We need trees for our wildlife in Whitehorse; the presence of trees reduces costs in repairing bitumen roadways and other infrastructure effected by heat; trees have positive psychological health effects; they reduce pollutants so are a benefit to physical health; they reduce cooling costs for residents; and so much more (reference: Dr Gregory Moore).
I would ask that Whitehorse Council consider the Council's Urban Forest Strategy and reject this submission.
