Large leaning Eucalyptus Tree on the southern boundary of 13-15 Stokes St, Lane Cove North:
A.    2nd picture below -  LH side of Eucalyptus tree trunk is only 2.8 metres from concrete foundations of Unit #1 on our property.
B.    4th picture below -  only 61cm between the brick wall on the southern boundary of 13-15 Stokes St. and the leaning Eucalyptus Tree

C.    Damage to dividing brick wall and concrete parking area at adjoining home unit block at 7-11 Stokes St

Our Strata Committee plans t seek approval from Lane Cove Council for removal of a large leaning Eucalyptus tree located at the southern end of our property.  A very large lower branch leans over parked vehicles on the adjoining property.  The root system may have already grown under nearby Unit #1 as it is only 2.8 metres from concrete foundations of Unit #1 and the LH side of the leaning Eucalyptus tree.

Further below is an extract from Eucalyptus Tree Problems: How To Avoid Eucalyptus Tree Root Damage that assert that Eucalyptus tree roots may spread laterally up to 30.5 metres from its tree trunk.

It is a mere 2.8 metres between the large leaning Eucalyptus tree (on the RHS of above photo) and the concrete rim immediately outside the balcony of nearby Unit #1.

Above (on the LH side) is the concrete rim immediately outside the balcony of nearby Unit #1.

Only 61cm between the brick wall (on the southern boundary of 13-15 Stokes St.) and the base of our tall leaning Eucalyptus tree.  Photos of damage to the brick wall.

Below is an extract from Eucalyptus Tree Problems: How To Avoid Eucalyptus Tree Root Damage (written by Ms. Teo Spengler, a master gardener and a docent at the San Francisco Botanical Garden).  It assert that Eucalyptus tree roots may spread laterally up to 30.5 metres from the tree trunk.  The below picture of Eucalyptus tree roots is sourced from Eucalyptus Tree Problems: How To Avoid Eucalyptus Tree Root Damage.

"Since the tree’s lateral roots spread up to 100 feet (30.5 m.) out, they can grow into ditches, plumbing pipes and septic tanks, damaging and cracking them. In fact, eucalyptus roots penetrating foundations is a common complaint when trees are placed too close to the home. The shallow roots can also lift sidewalks and damage curbs and gutters."

Due to its 65+ metres height, removal of our leaning Eucalyptus (very close to the boundary wall and also close to our Unit #1) tree will be costly.  But damage to the foundation of nearby home Unit #1 could be more expensive and stressful.

Picture immediately hereunder evidences that this tall, acutely leaning Eucalyptus tree is inflicted by Bracket Fungus which was agreed by a tree specialist (Peter Miller) that inspected it on 28 March 2024 in the company of Philip Johnston, Treasurer of our SP 7919.

Above brickwork has been lifted due to the acute angle of the Eucalyptus tree trunk likely caused by the proliferation of concrete and brickwork.

Below four pictures evidence cracks and lifting of nearby concrete, seemingly caused by the root system of our large leaning Eucalyptus tree.

Above photo evidences that branches from our acutely leaning Eucalyptus tree extend over the roof of the balcony of Unit #7.

Plant three Eucalyptus trees (or Fig or Sequoia) - each at least 3 metres tall - in the front garden of 13-15 Stokes St to enhance photosynthesis, albeit the 'nature strip' in Stokes St has an abundance of large Eucalyptus trees, relative to those trees amidst Lane Cove generally

Below is newspaper evidence that a Eucalyptus tree branch/es can fall on vehicles, both stationery and moving, sometimes with fatal consequences.
