    A billionaire couple have won the right to remove
    a single tree from the driveway of their lavish $20million mansion after being blocked by their local council. 

    Paul Holmes a Court, the son of Australia's first billionaire Robert Holmes a Court,
    and his wife Zara had been at loggerheads with their local council over a request
    to remove a single peppermint tree growing in the middle of their driveway.


    The couple bought the four-bedroom mansion in the affluent,
    tree-lined suburb overlooking Perth's Freshwater Bay for $20.1million in August.


    They wanted to remove the tree but the Shire of Peppermint Grove refused the request on the grounds the tree was
    not dead or deceased. 

    'We are very lucky to live here, but I have to say that the tree placement
    is unusual,' Ms Holmes a Court previously told a council meeting. 

    'I'm quite a reasonable and rational person, but a tree in the middle of the driveway makes it quite tricky
    to reverse out.'

    The couple enjoyed a breakthrough at a council meeting last week after an alternative motion was unanimously passed that allowed
    the tree to be removed on the condition they paid a $2,500 bond before any work
    was done on the driveway.

    They will also need to plant two replacement trees on their property.

    Ms Holmes a Court previously claimed the tree's odd placement also made
    it difficult to spot cars turning the corner at a nearby intersection with Bay View
    Terrace.

    After the motion to remove the tree was passed at the meeting, councillor
    Douglas Jackson said it was a 'good outcome'.

    'I think it meets both the owners' wants, or expectation, but also matches the council's
    needs at the same time by ensuring that there is tree cover on the verge of that
    property,' he said.

    Peppermint Grove is hoping to implement a policy that would even make
    it an offence to damage or remove any mature trees on private property without council approval.


    Last month, WA Planning Minister John Carey said he hoped the
    Shire of Peppermint Grove would 'take a common sense approach' to
    the issue.

    'This is part of the challenge that we do have with local government.
    I've always been on the record that we need local governments
    to take a common sense approach to issues,' Mr Carey told the West
    Australian. 

    'And I understand people are passionate about trees.
    But ultimately, we do need local governments to
    assess the situation and find pragmatic outcomes.'

    According to the online listing for the four-bedroom,
    four-bathroom mansion - which is built on a corner
    block along the banks of the Swan River - the sprawling Federation-style property
    was built in around 1904. 




    The Holmes à Court property was built in around 1904
    in Federation 'Arts and Crafts' style





    The home boast an unparalleled view of the Swan River overlooking Fresh Water Bay

    'Designed in the rare Federation 'Arts and Crafts' style,
    the home has retained all its elegance and splendour via lofty ceilings, sweeping
    verandas, charming decorative arches, casement-style sash windows, and walls of
    French doors that bathe the home in light, reflecting river views beyond,' the listing said.


    The property also features 'Plush Champagne-hued carpets' and 'cobble-stoned remote garage to accommodate six cars, abundant storage, gym area,
    double vanity rain-shower bathroom and climate-controlled wine cellar.'

    Mr Holmes a Court is the chief executive of prize-winning
    wine label Vasse Felix and the brother of Peter Holmes à Court,
    who once jointly owned of the South Sydney Rabbitohs
    with Russell Crowe, and climate philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court.

The pits are 500 nm extensive and the track spacing is 1.6 mm. The variations in light reflection are utilized by the lens servo to manual the beam along the route and focus it.The "8 in 14" coding machine guarantees that the smallest pit and land length is three bits (833 nm) and the longest 11 bits (3560 nm) WebSite: https://repaircddvd.com
