Prosecution on Norfolk pine removal

 

Gosford Council has decided to prosecute Mr John Tsauszik of Ultimate Degree Systems Pty Ltd and Mr Nick Dawkins of Tidy Trees in the Land and Environment Court for the removal of three Norfolk Island pines in Pearl Parade, Pearl Beach.

Council claims that the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 was breached by the removal of the trees.

The trees were removed from the site on June 14.

Council was told the land was owned by AA & AJ Tauszik and Ultimate Degree Systems Pty Ltd.

Legal fees for the council will be approximately $30,000.
