墨尔本理事会说,住房计划威胁到树木目标,理由是国家政策冲突和执法不力。 Melbourne council says housing plans threaten tree goals, citing state policy conflicts and weak enforcement.

墨尔本的Boroondara理事会指出,目前的住房开发计划危及扩大城市树冠的努力,认为30%的树覆盖目标无法实现。 Melbourne’s Boroondara Council says current housing development plans jeopardize efforts to expand urban tree canopy, calling a 30% tree cover target unattainable. 虽然理事会土地占43%的树木覆盖率,目标是52.5%,但官员们援引了限制私人土地树木保护的相互矛盾的国家政策和对非法迁移的惩罚不严。 While council land has 43% tree coverage aiming for 52.5%, officials cite conflicting state policies that limit tree protection on private land and weak penalties for illegal removal. 国家的回应是指出新的规则,要求允许砍伐5米高以上的树木,950万美元基金用于在低冠状地带种植50万棵树,并主张这些步骤平衡住房增长与环境目标。 The state responds by pointing to new rules requiring permits for cutting trees over five meters tall and a $9.5 million fund to plant half a million trees in low-canopy areas, asserting these steps balance housing growth with environmental goals.
