Sealed Judgement

        6.6 B USHFIRE T REE R EMOVALS
        Following the mediation redesign, the Bushfire removals were reconsidered by Rob Friend,
        Rob Friend & Assocs. Tree 213 is now determined as suitable for retention, however, the
        mediation redesign requires the removal of 15 trees to remediate against bushfire risk. The
        Table below lists the trees that are nominated for removal following the 2025 health review
        and Bushfire risk reassessment based on the mediation changes in Building Envelope
        positions.
