Titirangi kauri tree owner kickstarts debate with environmental application.

Oh to be a developer in Auckland and buy cheap sites cos they are protected, put in consents to remove the protection led by 70 page proposal that fails to mention the mature Kauris and Rimu’s on the site, and then bobs your uncle the council will of course agree to clear the site, to put in double garaging and a 2 story residence cos too much hassle to build around the trees who they failed to notice in the first place or even understand why they should be preserved.
If anyone notices, agree to preserve them. buy time and then go back to environment court with hanky in hand and a dodgy deal with council who will sign anything to get one of their bad decisions through, crying what a victim they are.
And if that still doesn’t work, just hire a gang of outside contractors to “accidentally” knock down the trees. They can claim they were told the wrong street, or the wrong trees or anything, but once they are down they are down. The developer’s reaction: oh dear! how sad! oh well, that’s life! carry on boys!”
