MILL PARK, VIC 3082

Description

There is a pine tree approximately 15 metres tall, less than 5 metres from the house, entirely within my private property. Over time, the tree has developed a noticeable lean rather than growing vertically. During periods of strong wind, the tree sways considerably, raising serious concerns about its structural stability. Given its size, proximity to the house, and leaning position, the tree poses a significant risk to nearby buildings, vehicles, and residents' safety. These concerns are reinforced by a recent incident in January 2026, when a large gum tree outside the neighbouring property at 8 Hallmark Close, Mill Park, fell during severe weather, causing substantial damage to the property and a parked vehicle. Luckily, there was no human injury at that time If the pine tree on my property were to fall, the consequences could be far more severe due to its close proximity to surrounding homes. In addition to the potential for significant property damage, there is a real risk of serious injury to residents or passers-by. The ongoing risk has also affected our family's sense of safety and well-being. We feel anxious during windy conditions, as we are concerned that the tree could fail without warning.
