Trees: Permit sought

Staff ReporterWanneroo Times

Cr Dot Newton put forward a motion at last week’s council meeting for a new footpath and wider access road at 24 East Road.

A council report stated that removal of the trees would require a permit from the Department of Environment and Regulation.

‘I’ve driven down there myself ” it is not possible to go into that property and reverse out without using the bin pad and footpath ” the footpath itself is in a dangerous place.’
