The Council set up an independent tree panel to find a compromise on tree replacement. However, the panel and public were misled, leading to a loss of trust.

An inquiry found leadership failures and poor communication further eroded trust. By 2018, pressure from various stakeholders led to a change in approach, pausing the tree replacement program.
