I refer to this and indicate the information I received on this one for
questions 1 and 3 is as follows:

 

The Tree Policy provides guidance under Removal of Trees where it is shown
that disruption or damage to essential services, including footpaths and
overhead or underground services, could be affected.  An assessment by the
arborist confirmed that removal was the best solution for this particular
tree given the tree was having a direct impact on the underground services
and access to the property at 47 Purkiss Street.

 

For question 2 reference is made to Tree Policy 6.2.6.  The Tree Policy
provides guidance on consultation with the community when a removal may be
considered.  In this case Council did not conduct a targeted survey of
local residents seeking feedback on the tree in question.

 

You ask ‘why not’ – the answer is covered in the second paragraph.

 

This completes the request.
