Residents meet in the park to discuss management of trees, 5 December 2009

About this blog

This blog has been created as a place for interested people to communicate about protecting the unique values of the Corroboree Park area in the South-East part of Ainslie.  It has grown out of the active work of several residents who started to ask questions about why apparently sound mature trees around Corroboree Park had been felled as a risk to public safety.  They also wondered what the ACT Government was doing to protect the 200- to 300-year old heritage-listed Corroboree Tree, which recently seemed to be in decline.  Finally, a decision to cut down a 40 metre high eucalypt seemed to be taken without considering all possible issues and solutions.  At the heart of our concerns is the feeling that the heritage and natural values of our neighbourhood are not being properly managed.

    It's really very easy to do - anyone can use the Internet and it's free so long as you have access to a computer.

    Thank you Richard and Nicky. Hopefully with this tool we can get the information out and get a fair outcome for the park and its beautiful trees.

    My name is Jennifer and I am a resident of Duffy. Last Friday I awoke to the sound of TAMS beginning to woodchip a healthy Southern Bluegum from the nature strip adjacent to my home. There was no notice or consultation process. This beautiful, healthy survivor of the 2003 bushfires has a girth of more than 2.5mt and is now condemned to die in 2 week's time. I would be grateful to hear what others have to offer.
