In October 2020, Wollondilly Council sought community input on which species of trees should replace the declining Eucalyptus trees in Picton RSL Park.
The trees have been in decline for a number of years owing to drought conditions, sap sucking pests and repeated Corella attacks. Despite our best efforts to restore them to health, the trees now pose a potential safety hazard – and require removal.
Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts. The Consultation Summary provides an overview of what we heard.
We have some good news – the tree trunks will get another lease on life, thanks to community groups which have some ideas for ensuring the timber is reused in a new form.
The Eucalyptus trees were removed in December 2020.
The replacement trees - advanced Illawarra Flame Trees about 3 metres in height - were planted in January 2021 by Council's Works and Parks teams.
