Four significant trees will be felled to make way for a mansion on one of Toorak s most exclusive streets because they clash with the design for a new family home and gardens.
Stonnington councillors on Monday vetoed a recommendation to protect the trees, despite officers concerns about more than 1000 established trees being cut down on private land every year.
Four significant trees will be bulldozed on this St George s Rd Toorak property against the advice of the Stonnington Council officers.

The mansion, tennis court and swimming pool at 18 St Georges Road sold for $38 million in 2018 but was pulled down after a fire and vandalism at the vacant property.
