So, I did my best to contact Wyndham Council about the totally inappropriate tree planfing in the middle of the services easement at the front of our property. You know what, as soon as your communication is recognised as a complaint the system won’t recognise your email. Yeah. Well done the bureaucrat that can’t handle a complaint at a local level. I just scaled your act of corporate “go away erey” up to a global level. The di**it in arboreal planning who thought it would be a good idea to plant trees in a services easement without ever thinking, there may be water, sewer, communications and electricity in that easement deserves a medal. I call dial before you dig, I wonder if the di**it did? From an aesthetic point of view,I wonder what drove the selection of planting sites? Was your department allocated a limited number of trees to plant, willy-nilly? That would explain the randomity of the planting. Not one of the trees planted is anwhere near the centre of the property they are planted in front of! It is not even good geometry!
The truly odd part of all this is that, about five years ago, an established tree in front of another family member’s house was the victim of a bit of inter neighbourhood parking land clearance with abfour wheel drive. It was reported at that time and there is still no sign of any effort by council to replace a tree that someone actually wanted!
