This
healthy River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis)
at 23 Hardinge Street has not been under threat
from its owners. There
was, however, concern that intensive development or disturbance of soil on
the adjoining lot to the west, shown partly in this August 2007 photograph,
could harm it. Fortunately,
three years afterwards, the tree appears healthy. Hardinge and Anita Streets are noted for their fine
remaining River Red Gums. |
This
healthy conspicuous Coast Banksia (Banksia integrifolia)
at 29 Beach Road is listed on Bayside City
Council's Significant Tree Register. It is understood that the large extent of its root system led the Council
to refuse an application for the front-most dwelling of 3 proposed on this
site in 2007. A 2010 application
for a single structure comprising 6 dwellings includes a basement whose plan
area would cover 61% of the site
area, and greatly reduce the soil moisture bank for the tree was refused by unanimous vote
of all 7 Bayside councillors. |
