T1 - Eucalypt (Fell) Reason for Removal: The tree is growing within a confined raised bed, providing insufficient space for future root plate expansion. This constraint has already resulted in structural interaction with the retaining wall, indicating ongoing and likely progressive damage. A fruitbody of Spectacular Rustgill (Gymnopilus junonius) was noted at the base, suggesting possible decay activity within the root zone. Given the tree's position adjacent to the driveway and pedestrian access, the combination of restricted rooting environment, structural pressure on built features, and potential root decay presents an unacceptable risk to vehicles and pedestrians. Removal is therefore recommended.
