A Sydney pensioner has been fined $40,000 for chopping down 74 trees on his north shore property and a nearby golf course, following a long-running legal stoush with the local council.
John David Chia, 71, was found guilty in the NSW Land and Environment Court of ordering contractors to cut down trees including black she oaks, wattle and Sydney red gums in October 2014.
