Ancient sacred trees - slated for destruction! 30-Apr-2019 At 6:54:05 AM lacto

Amazing the different attitudes from different government departments. GMWater recently recently relazed 18 hectares of mine to remove 3 outlets and have all water delivered from 1 upgraded outlet. Had to have a $5500 aboriginal heritage survey even though every metre had already been lazered and soil turned over, no possible chance of anything left. Then came the remnant tree survey where I was not to disturb soil within 7 metres of one particular grey box tree on the road with a 600 mm table drain for the road within 1 metre of the trunk. This tree was stuck by lightning during a torrential storm and a 600 mm diameter branch fell across the road nearly squashing a car pulled over due extreme rain and will now die Even sugar gum which are not native to the area were treated as remnant . There was a small dead grey box on the dirt minor road 250 mm trunk diameter which was to remain even though it will smash my fence when it falls .
