Council’s Principal Arborist has recently completed a detailed inspection on a large African Mahogany (Khaya) tree positioned within the nature reserve adjacent to 49 River Park Drive, Annandale.

The decision to remove this tree was made based on the certified arborist’s report, which confirms that the tree has died and has become a risk to the surrounding infrastructure and a high risk to public safety.

Unfortunately, no further arboriculturally management practices can be recommended to safely retain the tree.

Works will include removal of the tree branches and mulching. Suitable replacement trees will be planted near the removed tree to replace the equivalent lost canopy cover.
