Feedback on the proposed removal of the two large golden poplar trees at the entrance to the Buchan Recreation Reserve revealed strong community sentiment.

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and experiences regarding the golden poplar trees at the Buchan Recreation Reserve.

Feedback reflects a diverse range of community perspectives; some expressed deep emotional and cultural connections to the trees, while others voiced concerns of safety, maintenance, and long-term sustainability.

All feedback has been thoughtfully considered, and we’ve also sought independent arborist advice to help guide our approach. The health, safety, and heritage of the site are all being carefully weighed as part of this process.

We're waiting for the arborist to finish additional investigation before making a final decision.

Thank you again for your contribution and for your understanding as we continue to work through this important matter with care and consideration.
