On face value a good, real world story from Martin, about the tree. Both advices may well be legitimate. That is unfortunately what “resource management” is
all about. I would expect these notices came from different sections (or would hope so). I suggest sending each of these notices to the alternate agency and see what happens.

WRT Noisy Friarbirds, things are pretty good at Carwoola. We do have plenty of Red and Yellow Box for them to feed in. They nested one year in a Red Box, last year in a Pin-Oak and this year in
a willow!!
That being said not only do Governments not give a rats razoo about the environment they often demonstrate incompetence in trying to prove they have got such a policy. A classic was a few years
ago where a householder got a notice ordering them to remove, as a safety hazard, a large eucalypt beside their house a week after they had been served with a preservation order on the same tree.
