The sad euthanasic demise of our rural ‘Shaggy’ – our harmless verge May Bush (Spiraea cantoniensis). 

Some hateful vindictive ‘anonymous’ incoming ex-Sydney newcomer has targeted as urban improper and complained to Council that it be killed as ‘un-urban’.  Sydney urban invaders of this rural bush streetscape bullying imposing their urban dogma yet again.  So, go back to high-rised mass immigration Sydney as you are not welcome in the Australian Blue Mountains!

This is the article we wrote following that nasty threat by Blue Mountains Council out-of-the-blue to attack our verge coppice.

 

Blue Mountains Council threatening letter is bureaucratic ignorant bullying

 

Civil community co-operation by Council, NOT!

 

This is our lush shady verge.  

 

It was just bare grass when we bought in 2000.  ‘Leave the place better than you found it’ – my grandfather was a farmer.  Such is a core lore of land stewardship, and the scouting movement.

This was like our grass verge back in 2000 when we bought the property.   Apparently as residents, we had to mow this Council verge!?!   I had hayfever, so wifies had to.

 

 

The verge grass was never mown by Council, which is chronic neglect in our semi-rural residential heritage precinct.  Yet Council’s cultural mindset demands without any legitimacy that residents mow Council’s verges (nature strips) outside their properties.  This governmental staid one-size-fits-all pendant urbane mindset needs to change.

‘Shaggy’ our verge May Bush is shown on the right of the pole, when ‘Shaggy’ was still a blooming youngtser of Mountains character.  Note the unusual reverse juxtaposition of the footpath and the verge.

We had planted this verge (nature strip) out in 2002 from what had been neglected for decades as Council’s unkempt grass lawn that they required us to mow it for bloody Council on their behalf.  Bugger that for a joke!  So the invasive grass went to Mars and we redesigned it mostly Native, landscaped it, kept it neat and tidy and had it maintained regularly to be safely clear of the overhead powerlines over the past 25 years.  It just made sense.  Council didn’t communicate a tuppenny shite. This verge design initiative provided the only shade and coolness in our street from the damaging hot summer afternoon sun (westerly left of photo) so car owners parking have long valued it. 

Then some anonymous pedant from ‘big smoke’ concrete Sydney complained about wheel chair access.  In our bushy area? What crap!   Then someone anonymous chose to vandalise our May Bush when we weren’t home.  

 

 

Give the brushcutting right angled military cut right on next door’s boundary.  Mmm, we suspect these new hissy-fitting newcomers adjacent from high-rise Sydney.  They’re threatened us previously with laser trimming to the boundary like the prior pollarding witch did.   It’s straight of the Book of Luke.

 

 

So, Council demanded that we kill our verge May Bush ‘Shaggy’ plus cut back our mature native lemon-scented tea tree, to somehow provide wheelchair access along our footpath. 

 

 

 

All ignoring the bloody elephant in the footpath mind you….  Try getting a wheelchair around this obstacle… 

 

 

Our entire old 1870s-heritage residential precinct is has bugger all footpaths, and frankly it’s just the way us Katoomba locals like it – rural, leafy and bushy!    We’ve never seen a wheelchair in our street or neighbourhood during our 26 years to date!

So with no joy trying to talkk to Council bureaucrats we tried to contact and complain about this bureacratic pedant urbanisation to our local Ward 1 Councillors – Cr Sarah Redshaw, Cr Suzie Van Opdorp and Cr Suzanne Jamieson.  Fat lot of good that did!   Their all Labor hacks!  Think Labor’s mass immigration driving housing unaffordability and more Hong Kong congestion downunder.

 

 

Council’s ordered killing of our May Bush cost us over $800 out of pocket, including:

1. 1. Us engaging a specialist contractor to remove (kill) the May Bush (our ‘Shaggy‘).   |  Cost: $450
   2. Us engaging a specialist contractor to stump grind the root ball.   | Cost:  $200
   3. Buying two replacement camilias with suitable fertilizers.  | Cost:  $180.
   4. Our time and effort to then re-dig the soil patch of (1m(W) x 1m (L) x 0.3m (D) = 0.3 m³ 
   5. Our time and effort to then replce the soil and landscape the rock surround and replant the verge with Camilias

 

 

 

This destruction supposedly to appease some anonymous newcomer nearby from obvious the city who demands a city streetscape. 

 

Be known, we’re hereby placing a set of street CCTVs up and that anonymous individual passer-by complainant of our May Bush we again observe damaging vegetation will be up on the Internet before you can say Jack Robinson.

 

Just weeks later our verge it has just been decimated by ignorants of Asplundh who deserve to live in concrete treeless Penrith/Glendenning relying instead upon airconditioning.  So passive solar design, eh!  Go the fake Greens (socialist Reds!)  

 

 

May be we plant an attractive red spiky Japanese Flowering Quince bush (chaenomeles-japonica) where Shaggy was?

 

 

 

The large bush on the right was our ‘Shaggy’ – our May Bush.  Being a northern hemisphere shrub it flowered in Spring with is May in the northern hemisphere.  But in Australia in the southern hemisphere it flowers also in spring in October.   The flowers were small white and when it was in full bloom every late October the appearance was like a giant fizzgig.

 

 

 

But then some anonymous urbane local newcomer to our leafy Blue Mountains (likely from inner concrete inner Sydney) complained to Blue Mountains Council that our May Bush was over-generous to the 1.2 metre (military standard?) rural footpath.

Obviously that pedant owns a pet rock and a chainsaw – a botanophobic!   Given recent damage problems in our street, we shall be installing half a dozen high definition colour infrared battery CCTV cameras strategically in our street shortly, and not the cheap Chinese ones. 

Compare the 2000 purchase of this (low-base) property’s scene some 26 years ago when we had just bought the property:

 

The land value would not be what it is in 2026.  So Council would not be since reaping the value-adding spoils from its rate hikes from then being $772.55 annually to in 2026 being $2285.34 – a 300% lazy gain.  Blue Mountains Council has for time immemorial exploited its local ratepayers, especially its NAZI1957 forced evictions of the poor locals out of the The Gully.  A shameful record that Blue Mountains Council continues to culturally shun its complicity and guilt. 

Some old locals never forget.

POSTCRIPT #1:    OUR REPLY TO COUNCIL’S NAZI VERGE GESTAPO

 

Attention:  Mr Bhabuk Gajurel
Program Leader Inspections & Maintenance
Transport and Public Access (department)
Blue Mountains Council
2-6 Civic Place
KATOOMBA NSW 2780

Saturday 11th July 2026

 

Dear Mr Gajurel,

 

RE:  “Pedestrian Hazard” Claim by Council – Verge in front of 5 Kundibar St, Katoomba NSW 2780 – my complaint CSR 665885

 

I refer to you following up my request that you and your manager Nicole Hume attend onsite inspection with your colleague Chris on Wednesday 17^th June 2026.   Pity you did not notify  me of the timing and just turned up unannounced, and without Nicole Hume.

I appreciate your follow up email notification 30 June 2026 to me about this verge matter now being permanently closed by Council. (.JPG copy attached)  I presume that your email is also a follow up to you conducting a second following onsite inspection of this subject verge outside my property after I had acted upon Council’s request to remove the May Bush and trim the two limbs of the Tea Tree as agreed.  If so, again I was not contacted and not aware of any second onsite visit to inspect the vegetation trimming/removal.

I personally trimmed the Tea Tree and also contracted Greg Roberts Trees to remove the May Bush to the stump ground level and then a second contractor to stump grind the remaining vegetation of the May Bush verge section to below ground level.  I attach the relevant photos for Council’s reference.  These were your agreed actions for me to undertake when you first visited.

 

I make the following comments to this matter:

1. We have done the verge trimming as Council has requested of us.
2. I disagree that such trimming was necessary from the outset. My residence is in a semi-bushland setting, and such military pollard trimming demand by Council I consider to be absurdly pedantic given the rural streetscape of our old residential precinct. 
3. This residential precinct, labelled ‘North’s Estate’ dates from the 1870s and is the oldest residential subdivision in the Blue Mountains LGA. It is designated by the NSW Government as a Heritage Conservation Area.   
4. Public access silo mentality
5. Our property is one of few in this North’s Estate precinct seeming lucky to have a footpath at all! Are we not bordering environmental wilderness World Heritage?  We are not bloody military precinct or inner Sydney treeless “CITY”?  We are not Glenmore Park nor Pyrmont! 
6. You state in our conversations that our property was singularly targeted out by some anonymous complainant for verge trimming. May be I should try that method on someone whom I might have a personal vendetta with?  And we’ve experienced a few bad apples round these parts of late.  Such is the immoral manner in which Blue Mountains Council seems to have heaved in this petty one-sided matter.  
7. You have stated in your letter of 8^th May 2026 for us to trim our verge to some fabricated military type right angled precision (1.2m wide by 2m high) . Yet, whilst your letter dictated the footpath’s minimum clearance dimensions (above) you provided no by-law or basis for such.  Did you just make this ruling arbitrarily in your head? 
8. Council’s process in this matter has been a case of unwarranted ‘big brother’ bullying from on high in my opinion and its written order is anonymous so therefore baseless and unjustified.
9. The verge is Council property so your written threat of for Council to have otherwise do so and charge us the fee was intimidating and invalid. 
10. It is hypocritical that Council neglects the verges it technically has community custodial responsibility for, yet ignores their maintenance – typically many such verges are traditionally grassed lawns, yet Council does not mow them, rather its expects residents adjoining to do Council’s job and at the residents’ time and expense. Council’s verge ‘trimming’ in our semi-bushland residential precinct holds an ongoing neglectful history of grass lawn mowing of its verges/nature strips.  Other nearby residents have similarly complained.  Our verge has not once been mowed by Council since we moved here in 2001.
11. Such Council neglect over the years became an incentive for us to remove the unmaintained grassed verge lawn completely. At our own time and cost we replaced the grass with a mixed native garden bed mostly of locally indigenous native species and with local sandstone landscaping. It has been since maintenance free!  No cost to anyone else including Council.  It has positively added new privacy,  car parking shade, plus the native birds frequent the trees within.
12. The verge vegetation work ordered by Council has cost us personally about $1000 out of pocket for the May Bush removal associated stump grinding and purchase of replacement shrubs for this verge section.
13. We have chosen two white Camillias (Camellia sasanqua) to replace the May Bush and English Boxes, if this so pleases our beloved Council. May be we could receive a Council rates rebate from Blue Mountain Council promptly for this amount as compensation.
14. Following your letter of 8^th May 2026 to us, on 6^th June 2026 we first observed that someone unknown had edge trimmed a deep vertical corner section of the May Bush from top to ground. A large vertical chunk (30cm square section) was cut exactly at the border of our adjoining neighbours of 3 Kundibar Street. We received no warning or notice of this.  But the trimming created a public safety hazard since May Bushes cannot be trimmed like say English Box trees since it only leaves very  sharp inner branch pointy ends that pose an injury risk to passing pedestrians (unlike the soft small leaves of the May Bush exterior).  Clearly we have a vandal in our midst.
15. We have lived at this address since 2001. Council knows me personally on its record from many past correspondences – mostly regrettable in my experience, especially in relation to this precinct, Katoomba Falls Creek Valley (The Gully).
16. Your initial written letter ‘out-of-the-blue’ to my letterbox dated 8^th May 2026 to us was a shock, inappropriate and threatening about Council’s order for us to do pruning work itself then sending me some open ended bill charge with consequential ‘Big Brother’ legal action had I not done it myself. Such poor communication to a ratepaying resident perhaps cannot get worse. In my view you need remedial training in customer service courtesy skills, and your comment that my letter was one of 20 or more standard/roneoed letters to others suggests a lazy one-size-fits-all approach, indeed is Council heading to an AI outsourcing approach to communicate with its customer ratepayers now?
17. I pointed out to you and your colleague Chris on your initial onsite inspection that Council has for many years ignored repairing its footpath on the corner of Kundibar and Warriga Streets (photo attached). So Council’s personal targeting of our verge claiming fabricated and false concerns about public safety and access is completely hypocritical.
18. Our Council ‘Rates and Charges’ back in 2001 were annually $772.55. They have over the years snowballed to a current $2285.34 p.a. So without tempting some AI algorithm, I reckon that our average annual rates would approximate $1500.  So over our 26 years to date Council has reaped about $40k out of us.  Frankly, I don’t think we’re getting our money’s worth.  Likely that figure wouldn’t even pay for Council’s consultants or legal fees for one month.
19. I am disappointed that Council and particularly the three Ward 1 councillors, to whom I escalated this matter to, have been wholly silent in response. What is the point of serving on Council or becoming a representative for your local constituents if you do nothing when constituent raises a local matter of concern?
20. Yes, I am a Conservation Activist. I have published this article on the Internet: https://habitatadvocate.com.au/blue-mountains-council-threatening-letter-is-bureaucratic-ignorant-bullying/
21. I suggest that Council needs to apologise to us over this unnecessary petty drama and pull its head in.
22. I reserve the right after all this, to go similarly public again on this matter as a follow up. It may encourage other Blue Mountains residents to also express their own views about such bullying treatment as they see fit. In time the due negative publicly could implicate Blue Mountains Council appropriately well more than this petty verge matter it raised from some anonymous source.

 

 

 

Blue Mountains Council’s response:

 

 

POSTCRIPT #2:    OUR REPLY TO COUNCIL’S NAZI VERGE GESTAPO

 

Asplundh meathead vandal attacks our property causing malicious damage

 

 

 

Us, being long established locals of Katoomba in the Australian Blue Mountains, suddenly ‘out-of-the-blue’ last week we received a threatening letter from Blue Mountains {city} Council in our letter box, which included four colour photos of the front of our property and complaining and threatening us.

We’ve always paid our rates but for the last 26 years since we bought here! 

Council’s obscure written threat to us, and it’s apparently just us alone, no-one else its seems accusing us of…

“obstructing pedestrian passage, wheelchair use of the footpath and creating a safety hazard for pedestrians“

Seriously, Blue Mountains Council?   

 

 

So, the following is an extract of that intimidating letter from Blue Mountains Council addressed to us in our post box.  Its 3-page letter has photos of our verge.   It is dated 8th May 2026 and arrived in our letter box the following Tuesday 12th May 2026, one of the regular weekdays that our post arrives around our old neck of the woods.  

 

 

Mmm this is dodgy.  Some initial thoughts by us:

1. Council’s inspection of the footpath – initiated by Council bureaucrat NAZIs?

2. The footpath “is obstructing pedestrian passage, wheelchair use of the footpath and creating a safety hazard for pedestrians.”?

3. “Council owes a duty of care to ensure the safety of pedestrians on Council’s Footpaths”?   Since when ever?

4. “Council requests that you trim and maintain the planted vegetation to behind the edge of the footpath, providing 1.2 metre footpath width to a height of 2 metres, within 28 days.” Why such military paratmeters?  What Council by-law specifically applies?   

5. How’s this threat by council bureacrats:  “In the event that the requested work has not been carried out, Council staff may proceed with the necessary work, and you may be invoiced for the work carried out.”

6. The Council bureaucrat’s love and kisses closure sentence:  “If you require any further information in relation to the requirement to prune the vegetation on the footpath , please do not hesitate to contact me on 4780 5000 during business hours.”

 

So, something ratty bloody smells, something is definitely going on.  Why after 26 years this crap threat out-of-the-blue?   The letter is unannounced and targeting just our property, but no one elses and is misguided, unreasonable, non-communitate and contains a vandalistic and financial threat.  Does council pose some clandestine ulterior motive here?  What is the source?  Is it spiteful?  Is it politically motivated? 

Blue Mountains Mayor Greenhill and GM Dillon what is going on?  Fix your own backyard and leave our law abiding ratepayers alone in this 1870s heritage listed North’s Estate precinct in The Gully alone for Christ sake!

 

 

Meanwhile, here’s below our footpath in one of Council’s four included photos of its letter (taken without knocking on our door nor asking our permission.  Indeed, one of the four photos exposes our car registration – nice unethical compliment Council desk jockey!  

 

 

We at The Habitat Advocate don’t muck around dealing with government threats and hypocrisy….

The heritage streetscape ain’t standard round these parts, as this old preceinct dates back to the 1870s.   For instance, our verge and footpath are nonstandard, since the verge and footpath are in reverse justaposition to modern streetscapes.   But this is the heritage Blue Mountains for you and most locals like it the way it is, including this author. 

But hey Council, what of the telegraph poles in the footpath outside our place in the same locale?   Is someone complaining about wheelchair access around them as well?   Is Council planning to have Endeavour Energy put the power underground?  This author did just that years ago at some considerable personal cost of $6000+.  

 

 

Try wheelchair use through a telegraph pole in the footpath outside our front Council!   Try getting your nominal wheelchair around these  pole obstacles.   In the 26 years we’ve lived at this address in Inner West Katoomba we’ve never observed a single wheelchair in our street, dudes!   The Mountains rural landscape ain’t extactly wheelchair friendly for the most part.   So how conjured a fabricated justification to hatefully bulldoze our verge and how bloody bureaucatically hypocritical?

Much of the Blue Mountains has no footpaths anyway, certainly not in our old 1870s precinct.  This is not contemporary new urban Sydney.  

 

 

 

Council’s very ignorant letter comes from some new blow-in unknown Council office-bound staffer whom we have never heard of, one Bhabuk Garurel. 

He needs to get out more and realise the reality of where he is, and it ain’t 2026 newly developed urban Sydney.  Council’s letter represents some imagined rule out-of-the-blue threatening to destroy our bush verge.  It avoids any prior consultation or explanation by some desk jockey up in Council’s highrise brutalist taj mahal remote from the town community.

This is a shock after 26 years here with no issue.  So I phone back this character, Bhabuk Garurel, a Nepalese name as it turns out and I leave a few messages for him to call me back!   He does so and claims the matter is a Council initiated inspection.  But this proves false when I then speak with his manager Nicole Hume, who says someone (anonymous) has apparently complained.   So the truth emerges.

Here we reside in the oldest heritage residential area of the Blue Mountains.  The North’s Estate streetscape is over 150 years old, like from the 1870s. 

 

Outside our place there’s the previously shown electrical telegraph pole planted in the footpath obstructing pedestrian access and it has been there for decades and frankly we dont have a problem with that; it’s long a Mountains thing.

We have not ignored this unjustified impost and threat, and have since lodged a formal complaint and we’ll fight this politically, publically and indeed legally if needed.  Council’s CSR is 662 939 – for whatever that means.

We have since responded to Council bureaucracy on this matter not only three times by phone, but now in writing as follows (and we’ve only just started!):

15^th May 2026

 

Attention:  Bhabuk Gajurel
Programme Leader – Inspections and Maintenance
Transport and Public Access
Blue Mountains Council

 

RE:  Subject: Pedestrian Hazard – XX XXXXXXX St, Katoomba NSW 2780

 

1. I acknowledge receipt of your hardcopy 3-page letter dated 8^th May 2026 received in our letterbox to us at XX XXXXXXXXXX Street Katoomba on Tuesday 12^th May 2026;
2. I attach a scanned copy of that letter for your reference;
3. I reject Council’s claims and demands in that letter utterly, thus we are in dispute with Council in this matter;
4. The photos you attach which are in colour and have a edited colour shading, show that the verge vegetation does not obstruct pedestrian access, save for one May bush;
5. The imbedded text on the bottom right of each phone lists the incorrect address across the street.  Was this an act of AI and that of an ignorant Council staffer desk jockey?;
6. Why has Council chosen not to contact us to discuss rather than issue an ultimatum with costs.  Do you want us to take legal action against Council?  Is this how you treat residents?;
7. Safety warning:  If Council were to trim that May bush back to the western edge of the footpath, it would reveal the sharp small horizontal branches of the bush within and this would pose a public safety risk;
8. I request you, Bhabuk Gajurel, and your manager Nicole Hume, make time to personally inspect this verge onsite at a mutually suitable time so we can discuss options and the unique rural locale.  This is not urban wheelchair-friendly Sydney, from which you may emanate.  This is not concrete and treeless modern urban downtown Pyrmont.  We are in the rural Blue Mountains and it ain’t no city!;
9. Please observe that this particular residential street has its footpaths and verges along both sides of the street in reverse juxtaposition to modern streets, that is the verge butts up again the residential properties and the footpaths are adjacent to the gutter of the street;
10. The street dates back to the 1870s.  It is an historical part of North’s Estate and is conservation heritage listed.  This century old residential/bushland precinct area is not 21^st Century Pyrmont with its best practice streetscape compliance to suit disabled pedestrian access.  So get real!;
11. Have you any knowledge of the conservation heritage listing of North’s Estate of the 1870s here?  Have you ever heard of North’s Estate Heritage Conservation Area (Local ID: K171)?  It holds both local and State significance!  Do you have any qualifications or training or experience in conservation heritage areas?  The following newspaper advertisement dates to 1883, not 1983!;
12. Council’s photographed tea-tree on the verge diagonal branches allows for clear passage for pedestrians of a 6’ height.  Yet 7’ dudes may have to duck a bit.  Acknowledged, it is not perfect, but if you care to inspect closely onsite away from you Council desk, you will note evidence of our pruning of this tree over the decades.  It actually was a lot worse and so we have regularly trimmed it since we do respect the right of passage of pedestrians along the footpath;
13. In your letter, your claim that the verge vegetation is “obstructing pedestrian passage” is false and misleading, save for that May bush;
14. In your letter, your claim that “wheelchair use of the footpath” is required is absurd.  You are being hypocritical here because you conveniently are ignoring “the elephant in the room” – the three telegraph poles on our side of this short street have for many decades been planted in the footpath.  So how do you suggest a wheelchair avoids these poles?  If you want to destroy our verge then remove the poles so you achieve wheelchair access perfection for your nominal and unsubstantiated 1.2m (W) x 2m (H) parameter wheelchair access idyllic bliss!;
15. But hey, I have only just started.  A short walk around this old rural precinct will reveal to the newcomer that actually Kundibar Street is one of the better served for pedestrians.  Many streets have no bloody footpath at all.  So why target us?  Are we to be a precedent for Council’s heritage destruction of this 1870s Norths Estate by some city-slicker Council envisaging some urban pristine wheelchair-friendly paradise in its imagined “City within a World Heritage Area”?;
16. In your letter, your claim that we are “creating a safety hazard for pedestrians” is false and misleading.  There are no trip hazards on the footpath outside our property.  Indeed you can observe evidence of the concrete repairs that I have made to the old gutter and to around the electrical telegraph pole situated directly in front of our place in the footpath itself!  Compare this with the broken footpath next door that Council has ignored for years.  It indeed poses an ongoing trip hazard for pedestrians, yet all Council has done is spray white paint to alert pedestrians;
17. In your letter, you claim and seek to justify that “in this regard, Council owes a duty of care to ensure the safety of pedestrians on Council’s Footpaths.”   Seriously, take a walk around our immediate residential precinct (and many areas of the Blue Mountains dude!)   It is a celebrating in Council’s systemic and chronic neglect of streetscape maintenance and amenity.  But frankly in this neck of the woods we rather like it to be a bit rural and rough and ready.  We don’t want to be a suburb plush with thousands of concrete footpaths on every street side;
18. I will not trim anything without Council’s prior written agreement to the extent of that trimming and with Council’s authorised senior representative as an onsite witness.  Video footage will be done for public dissemination.  I am flexible to reasonable trimming, but not to wanton unsupervised destruction by outsourced non-Council contractors. They might cop a sprinkler or two;
19. Any destruction of our verge vegetation will incur a cost penalty to Council by invoice to replace same. That cost will likely be more than Council’s bullying threatened charge for it to “proceed with the necessary work , and you may be invoiced for the work carried out.”

 

I do not tolerate threats.

 

Yours faithfully,

Steven Ridd
Property Owner

Meanwhile, for those unfamiliar with Inner West Katoomba’s heritage listed North’s Estate, check out Council’s hypocrisy and streatscape neglect of it… (all our photos)…

 

 

 

 

And a street away, this century old wall has long been neglected by Council.  What’s new?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whilst Metromix was supplying the concrete for Council’s unnecessary footpath upgrade (costing how many ratepayer thousands?) the Metromix cement mixer driver managed to destroy a safety barrier close by up the same Warriga Street. 

Warriga Street Katoomba – crash barrier damaged CSR 291786:   Quote from one’s email to Council of 2nd August 2019: 

“Attached are photos of the crash barrier damage on Warriga Street, which occurred today between 11am and 12:30.  The road is unsafe.  There are  two or three steel vertical posts that have been dislodged.”

 

 

Surprise surprise, Metromix then got the plumb job of supplying truck loads of concrete for Council’s new fangled concrete island replacement.  Check this photo of 6th August 2021 out…

 

 

But that’s Blue Mountains {city} Council for you.  Worst council in Australia.  Council’s Motto:  “A Sydney city envy converting Blue Mountains heritage – natural, historical, everything!”
