Bad weather has delayed work to prepare for the removal of eucalyptus trees in Rotorua's Blomfield Gully.
Work was scheduled to start today but felling has now been delayed a week.
Site preparation will continue this week and weather permitting, felling will start next week.
In recent years the Rotorua Lakes Council had received feedback from the community, especially the surrounding neighbourhood, asking for the trees to be removed because of concerns for safety, leaf fall and shading.
Residents were notified by letter in November about the planned work.
