    Hi Experts,

    Seeking general feedback here. Due to time constraints, we couldn't get an Aborist report to submit to local council here in whitehorse. The tree type is "Camphor Laurel", and it's sitting 5 metres from the front boundary, roughly 7m from the left and 5m from the right. The tree is roughly 2 stories high, and the roots have definitely sprawled across the driveway and also under the current house. We are thinking to demolishing the existing property, and was wondering if anyone could give pointers and suggestions if the tree could be removed. The property is on a SLO9.

    Really appreciate your comments and feedback.

    Thanks

    Regards,
    Gene

    Have a look at the Council website . Many council's class camphor laurel as a noxious weed. That'll make removal approval easier.
