We have areas marked outstanding natural landscapes that we quite rightly protect. These trees Mark an attractive roadside into queenstown. Cut them down and what have we got exposed powerlines. I understand not power companies problem. And understand high cost of shifting lines over. But that is the only answer or trim each year. Qldc needs to get overall strategy of what this town is about and where it is going. This issue is very important. The roading network needs strategic planning as how it is all going to link together to handle and distribute traffic. Whos doing that? Don't destroy what's charming about the place. The easy solution is chop the trees down but what are you left with ? where do you replant ? and then wait 30 years to grow.
