The idea is that the trees are removed once the arbours are in place.

No, the trees will stay, arbour behind them. Will provide for extra shading around the events space. The arbours might not be done for a few years yet, depends on DPTI and when they will realign the road.

aboriginal elders are upset with the proposed use of non-native flora (plane trees)...

Oh for crying out loud. Isn't the southern part of the square supposed to have a native garden and a Kaurna cultural centre?
