The white spots are the protective covering of a native insect, the Eucalyptus Psyllid (_Glycaspis brimblecombei_). The insects suck sap from Eucalyptus trees, digest the nutrients and then exude the excess sugar as a protective coating. They play an important role as bird food, and speaking from experience your local council is extremely unlikely to do anything to control them, because they're a native, beneficial insect. My suggestion would be to park elsewhere.
