Leaning Eucalypts Tree

Recommend our Strata Committee seeks approval from Lane Cove Council for removal of appro. 67% of the lower branch (on the RHS).  It leans over parked vehicles on the adjoining property.
Removal of up to two thirds of that branch would overcome the likelihood of this tree ever falling on vehicles on the adjoining property (7 -11 Stokes St North) as that branch leans over where residents cars are often parked, and where drivers enter or depart those vehicles. There is evidence that this tree is infected by fungus about 2.5m up the tree.  However, that health ailment may be localised.

Picture immediately hereunder evidences that this eucalyptus is inflicted by Bracket Fungus which was agreed by a tree specialist (Peter Miller) that inspected it on 28 March 2024 in the company of Philip Johnston, Treasurer of SP 7919.

Above brickwork has been lifted due to the acute angle of the tree trunk.

Branches from this Eucalypt tree extend over roof of Unit 7 balcony

Below is recent newspaper evidence that a eucalyptus tree branch/es can fall on vehicles, both stationery and moving, sometimes with fatal consequences.
