Residents have demanded a stay of execution for a local Moreton Bay Fig Tree in Teneriffe, which is expected to be cut down by the council on Thursday.
Members of the Teneriffe Progress Association will stage a ‘tree sit’ in protest, and are urging local member Vicki Howard to reconsider the decision.
Councillor Howard maintains in this case it cannot be avoided and says, “the removal of trees is an issue Brisbane City Council takes very seriously.”
