Following a comprehensive assessment of the health and condition of trees along Bathurst Street at Pitt Town, it has been determined that 157 Casuarina trees have died or are in too poor health to save.
These trees form an important windbreak as well as make an important contribution to the local character, environmental quality and heritage value of the area.
The cause of the tree deaths is currently unknown. Council has developed a plan for their replacement.
Removal of the trees and stumps will commence the week of 16 June 2025. Replanting is planned for August 2025 to take advantage of the optimum time for planting and growth.
Council will use stock grown at our Hawkesbury Community Nursery, and the replacement trees will be planted and maintained by our bush regeneration team, and watered by Council as they establish.
Council takes its commitments to community safety and the preservation of local environment and heritage very seriously.
