I've had to pay for an arborist to checkout a 'significant' tree and certify that it was not only well and truly dead but was not a home for native animals. Even though this huge gum was leaning dangeroursly over the corner of the house where my tenants children's bedrooms are situated!
Council didn't care that a storm could topple the tree, they only cared that it might have some active nests in it. I love native animals myself but please..... I think all up it cost us $2500 to cut down this gum. Normally I pay about $1000 for the larger trees.
