That particular tree shaded alot of families and memories for example, Magun Warriors stuck a flag post right at the top of the tree back in the early 90's . So this tree has alot of memories,values and also a Land Mark for people to meet, greet and spend alot of family time there. I SAY NO and leave it alone.

I think that the people who have been residing on TI for many years should have the last say. Other than that, I don't see a good enough reason so cut down that tree or any Tree! LOOK AFTER THE TREE, THE TREE WILL LOOK AFTER YOU.

I was born on Thursday Island in 1966 thus spending my childhood hours playing near or on the almond trees. The memories I have are of playing or sitting arond or hnder the tree near the beach. We left T.I in 1976 but the tree is a means so much to many people......its a meeting place, peaceful n tranquil, so many social and emtional wellbeing memories. The trees are a large pa rt of the plant and fauna of the island. It is an intergral landmark that present & past islanders family, friend n colleagues have fond memories of.

Being born and bred on TI, it is sickening to hear that they are planning to cut down the big old Mekei tree near the oval. That tree is of great significance to the history of Thursday Island. They should be preserving our heritage not destroying it. Was the community even consulted on this matter? Those big trees offers shade to the community and is a favourite spot for everyone. Stop the destruction of the trees now!!!

Please stop removing trees from the ecosystem. Upgrade and plant more but leave this area as a public appreciation and recreation area.

I am against moving those almond trees from our water front, esplanade, Ken Brown oval. These trees are a part of our history, they provide shade for our children to play and swim at high tide. Provide shade for families while watching football and a lovely place to sit and look out into the harbour.
