It is not clear what the justification is for removing this tree in such a magnificent area of Blackburn. One has to assume it is not due to the health of the tree otherwise this application would not be going to Council. On that basis, I would like Whitehorse to reject the request for tree removal. It is a privilege to reside in an area with such a diversity of vegetation and a well-established canopy which, according to the Whitehorse Urban Forest Strategy, has so many health, and other, benefits. Many other residents of Whitehorse are suffering 'tree-deprivation' as the canopy is being reduced from 24% to less than 18% which results in increased energy costs, health costs and a loss of wildlife. There are long-term effects of removal of mature trees, so I am hoping that Council will give due consideration to this submission.
