Auckland Council’s Chief Executive has today exerted his delegated authority and decided to give landowner approval, without any form of public process, for the removal of the scheduled macrocarpa tree at 1817 Great North Road Avondale.
The Tree Council is disgusted at the way this public heritage asset on public land has been handled by Auckland Council. Clearly the protection offered by scheduling our most important trees in the Unitary Plan is meaningless.
