Council has begun tree safety analysis along the Crater Lakes rim to investigate the logistics around the removal of large pine trees engulfed by the fire that ravaged the area in January 2022.
The work will assess the top three tiers of trees in the area which are suspected to be rotting from the inside, posing an ongoing risk to public safety.
“The Crater Lakes precinct is a State Heritage area which requires Development Application approval to undertake work of this type. We received the approval on Monday, so we’re now getting straight to work to see what we’re dealing with and what action we should take,” Acting General Manager City Infrastructure Karl Manarangi said.
