Subject: Official Information Act request - $1,700 to drop macrocarpa at Shag Point

Dear Waitaki District Council,

Recreation update 8 December from Eric van der Spek to Waihemo Comm. Bd.

In this update forestry contractors will fell a macrocarpa at Shag Point.

Is the tree on Council land of DOC reserve?

Yours faithfully,

James Russell

As per Councils tree policy Council only removes trees if they are a risk to life or property. This tree overhangs the neighbour's property and does present such a risk. As the manager of the land the tree is located on it is Council's responsibility and liability.

Dear Lynley Scott,

Thank you for responding so quickly with the information I sought

As supplementary question on the 'tree'. I do not fully appreciate the circumstance that created the situation, so correct me if I am wrong, but I understand that the tree caused shade over one private property and this is why the tree is going.

Was the property owner asked to contribute to the cost?

Yours sincerely,

James Russell
