Just plant some more beautiful trees to replace the fig tree.

I've said before, wait until you see what happens to the area. That will be the reason it was cut down... be it a new council project = tree cut down for funding at an overpriced cost. Or building goes up, etc, that's the answer. $ or progress which is just money.

This space will look so bare… guess prices of properties will go up across the road due to a better sea view… I hate how things are so money-driven.

They are just pruning it from over the new playground. I would say that if it was a total removal the arborist would be using a much bigger tower. I’ll check it in a couple weeks on my next visit.
Annie Schoenberger
Just take away all the natural shade and put up shade sails.
Allen Richard Lavender
Another sad day for the Shire. So many things and people are dying off. The Shire is changing.
Dianne Harper
Let’s give this council a big chop in the next council election. I remember the good old days when we had a council that actually cared about the town, wildlife, it was a green town and full of life.
Bevan Bobbermein
Just cut it down and mulch it for the council.
Lenny Gow
Take some more stranglers out and landscape it. All reclaimed land anyway.
Lee-Anne Witte
Should have had care lessons from Cairns Council. Theirs are trimmed and lovely opposite the hospital.

So will the council now invest in several undercover picnic tables to replace the shaded picnic area that many people used to place their blankets and chairs to enjoy the park?

Will hundred dollar notes fix it?
Brad Craft
No problem… no funding, seen it for over 45 years working on the reef. Best it’s ever been.
Andrew Dow
What about the poor reef around the equator where the waters are 4 degrees hotter? They seem to be doing fine though.
