Councillor seeks arborist's report

Cr Jim Macfadyen has asked the director of community services Mr Phil Rowland whether he had the arborist's report on the health of the Yum Yum trees at Killcare.

He also asked that, if council's report came back stating that the trees were sound, council notify the locals who were concerned about the trees being removed.

Mr Rowland responded that the report had only come through in the last couple of days.

Mr Rowland added that the arborist had recommended some management and improvement works to protect the tree.

Mr Rowland also said that council were checking funding availability for the works and would move quickly to issue a press release clarifying the situation.
