I would object to this tree removal, on two primary grounds. Firstly is the loss of local habitat for indigenous species. The local area has already lost much of its large tree coverage and species such as owls, frogmouths and flying foxes are losing ecosystems.
Secondly the loss of local tree cover and shade is increasing the ambient temperature during summer. During the hottest days large trees provide passive cooling to ambient temperature for sometimes 100m around. This cooling can be up to 8c on the hottest days and even one degree lower can lower the chance of heat stroke or worse for some local residents.
