Removal of 5 Pines trees on the Lucindale Recreation Reserve

Update

A report outlining the feedback received was provided to last year's September Council meeting. The Elected Members asked council staff to liaise with the Lucindale Cricket Club to explore the best option to address the pine trees. This resulted in the Lucindale Cricket Club, with some assistance from Council, pruning the trees.

Background

Feedback is sought from the Community on the removal of 5 pine trees located on the Lucindale Recreation Reserve, Lucindale Oval section along the boundary between the Oval and Yakka Park.

A request has been received from the Lucindale Cricket Club for the removal of five pine trees at the Lucindale Recreation Reserve.

The Cricket Club believe the trees pose a risk to people playing cricket with balls being deflected from the trees and the trees casting shadows across the cricket pitch.

As the trees are over 5m in height and in accordance with Council’s tree management policy, the decision to remove the trees is the responsibility of the Elected Members.

To aid the Elected Members in making a decision that reflects the concerns and aspirations of the community feedback is invited.

A copy of the Tree Management Policy is available here.

If the removal of the trees is supported by the wider community the cost of felling the trees and stump mulching will be borne by Council. The Lucindale Cricket Club will be requested to remove debris.
