Dear Mr Caruso
Subject: Threatened Species Licence to remove one Sydney Blue Gum
I refer to your application to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment dated 13 July
2020 for a Threatened Species Licence, a class of biodiversity conservation licence under Part 2 of
the
Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (
BC Act), to pick and damage the habitat of a critically
endangered ecological community (CEEC), including by removing one Sydney Blue Gum
(
Eucalyptus saligna) from your property at 38 Fox Valley Road Wahroonga. This tree forms part of
the Blue Gum High Forest CEEC.
The Department understands that Ku-ring-gai Council’s Tree Management Officer has confirmed
that this tree is a risk to life/property. The Department also understands approval from Council is
not required.
I have assessed your licence application in accordance with the provisions of the BC Act and the
Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017 and I have decided to grant a biodiversity conservation
licence for this action.
A copy of your new biodiversity conservation licence is enclosed. Please note that your licence is
subject to conditions. These conditions are outlined in the licence. It is an offence under s2.14(4) of
the BC Act to breach a condition of a licence.
A public register of all biodiversity conservation licences and all decisions made to vary, suspend
or cancel those licences can be viewed at

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact me on 9995 6848.
Yours sincerely
