News & Discussion: Other Metropolitan Developments

[Nort]

It's sad to lose a physical venue like this but the building itself isn't that impressive and the business in it had failed, so time to let someone else try something new with the site.

I take it "Vertical Transportation" translates to "Lifts"?

Where will this be located?

Great thanks for that

OUCH!!

This is going to upset a lot of people as the reforms come into effect immediately,

Govt strengthens urban tree protections
The state government has strengthened protection for trees in South Australia’s planning system – a move that has been enthusiastically welcomed by environmentalists and decried by the development lobbies.

https://www.indaily.com.au/news/2024/05 ... rotections

A couple of snippets of the article worth pointing out:

1. The 10 metre rule is now 3 metres "The parliamentary committee recommended abolishing South Australia’s “10-metre rule” whereby a property owner can legally remove a tree if it is within 10 metres of a house of swimming pool."

2. The trunk size definition for a regulated tree shrinks from two metres to one metre while significant trees go from three metres to two.

and of course, there's always a reason for the government to take more of our money. 3. The cost of removing a regulated tree rises from $326 to $1000 and from $489 to $1500 for a significant tree.

I don't hate this, and I'd go as far as to ask if the cost to remove a regulated/significant tree should be higher? Should the cost to remove a tree that has taken 100+ years to grow be more than $1500?

Yes, I much prefer living in a desolate wasteland suburb with no trees to drop leaves on my concrete and fake grass. Hell yeah dude!

I live in a street right on the edge of the suburbs, in an estate that this release was opened for sale about 14 years ago. This release was marketed as being dotted with mature trees. I think the developers had removed as much as they could before it went on sale. I'd say about half of the remaining trees have gone away since, most at the time of house building. Each block sold had a "building envelope" marked to protect these remaining trees.

One of my neighbours, a few years after building his house (I assume inside the envelope) applied to remove the largest tree in the street, on the grounds that it was too close to the (aftermarket) verandah on his house, and as such a risk to his guests.

The tree remains (trimmed, I think) after a twenty-something page report to Council, with at least four arborist reports (the applicant's, the council's internal arborist, the applicant's second opinion, the council's external independent consultant. The council does have the ability to prevent destruction of significant landmark trees. It would be good if it was easier to protect them without so much effort, and a higher success rate.
