| Waterfront homeowners can legally chop down trees blocking million-dollar harbour views in some of Sydney's most sought-after residential areas, under controversial vegetation clearing laws introduced for bushfire zones.
Residents have already started cutting down trees, including 100-year-old angophoras, at a rate of 10 a day in Pittwater, according to mayor Jacqueline Townsend.
"There are concerns there are going to be great big bald patches right up the escarpment," Ms Townsend said.
