They have gone from alleviating the problem under ground with the root system to a problem above ground with a tree that produces fruit for (you guessed it) flying foxes to inhabit the area and produce a rotting mess around the trees and all over the townhouses and homes, plus the noise of the screeching flying bombers.

Hopefully the people concerned will have a rethink and put something sensible there.
