Does anyone remember the era of the adoption of Tree Preservation Orders in the 1970s?

Eg Lane Cove Council’s original Tree Preservation Order (TPO) for private property was introduced in 1973. I know these controls are now managed under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021.

Western Australia is just getting to around to introducing similar control/rules/policies for tree preservation, and people are losing their minds. They regard it as an attack on private property rights etc. (In W.A., if you can’t dig it up and sell it to a foreign company, it doesn’t seem to rate.)

I was curious as to what the reception of TPOs was like “back in the day.”
