Default Reducing eucalyptus

We are thinking of drastically reducing the height of a eucalyptus gunnii
tree. There is plenty of advice to keep them cut back regularly to obtain
the young foliage, but what will it do if it is thirty years old and has
never been cut back before? Will it still resprout and when is a good time
to do it? Supposing it is chopped off at about ten feet high, would it
sprout from the top, which would please the neighbours, or from ground
level? Has anyone tried this?
