I had a look, it's just up behind the Water Department building, there are two steel cables looped around the tree, and leading way up the hill above a stairway.
It would be easy enough to take them down, all you need is a small spanner to open the clamps, but then you'd have to roll up 100 metres or so of heavy steel cable and drag it off the stairway. Also, you'd wonder if the contractor was going to look for you and beat you up.
That much heavy cable must be worth a few thousand dollars, but it looks like the contractor just leaves it wherever he last used it till he needs it again, knowing no one will dare make him move it, least of all the gutless civil servants who might at best put up a notice and then retire from the scene.
The tree doesn't look in immediate danger, but the cables will eventually get embedded in the trunk and then when it is finally removed real damage will be done.
