very large wattle on the verge of Roma Mitchell Cres, just at the entrance to Justice Robert Hope Park, a source of weed trees for that park and the adjacent Watson Green Space

Don't know what will happen ... since their response was so vague. Would like to see it replaced with something else, perhaps a silver wattle.

Do not expect removal will happen. TCCS wrote:
"Due to the imperative nature of growing and retaining the tree canopy cover across Canberra, in line with targets set out in Canberra’s Living Infrastructure Plan and the Urban Forest Strategy, our operations teams do not remove healthy trees, irrespective of their status as a pest plant. If identified pest species are seen to be in decline or have died, removals take place, and these species are not actively replanted by our teams."
So no account is taken of how invasive a species is.
