Call for information - Illegal Auldana tree cull

We are disappointed to announce that we are once again seeking community support for information relating to an illegal tree clearance in Auldana North Reserve. A 1200 square metre plot has been cleared immediately below 33 Patrick Auld Drive, Auldana, with between 20 to 50 mature indigenous trees chainsawed and left onsite. From the regrowth seen on some of the stumps, we predict the clearance happened approximately a month ago. As can be seen on the map shown below, this is a remote site that is difficult to access, making it hard for our teams to monitor it on a regular basis.

One of the saddest parts about this illegal clearing is that this site is a Bush For Life area, which is supported and cared for by volunteers who selflessly give their time to maintain these important sites.

We would like to remind the community, once again, that the clearing of street or reserve trees is illegal. Without witnesses, photographs or videos of these trees being removed, we cannot prosecute those responsible for this damage to our environment. If you have any information that can help us, please contact our customer experience team on 8366 4200 or burnside@burnside.sa.gov.au
