Default How do I remove new shoots from a removed tree?

Hi,

About 3 months ago we had a big tree (think it's called Amelia, spelling?)
removed from our garden because it was too close to the house. The tree was
over 2 stories tall, or about same height as the overhead power lines in
suburban streets (I'm in Victoria).

Now, I'm getting new shoots coming out of the lawn! About 8 of them, knee/hip
high and growing very leafy and quickly.

What can I do to get rid of the new shoots and prevent them from growing back
again? ... I removed 1 big tree, now I have 8 small ones #@! ...

Thanks in advance, cheers

Robin
