Tree work in Maudsland
The register's widest fig, and ironbark in the reserve
On the bank of the Coomera River in Riverstone Crossing Reserve, the City of Gold Coast's tree register lists a 41-metre veteran white fig as remarkable tree 97. It has the largest diameter and the largest canopy spread of all the trees on the register. A fig that size sends its surface roots a long way, so stump, root or tree work in the Riverstone Crossing yards near the reserve is planned around that root zone, and the fig itself is left to the City.
Inside Macrozamia Environmental Reserve, the City's vegetation mapping shows gum-topped ironbark woodland, next to white mahogany and Queensland stringybark forest with tallowwood and grey gum in places. All of them are heavy, dense hardwoods. Where a big one stands near a home on the reserve edge, often on sloping ground, the quote allows for ropes, rigging and a large chipper.

Maudsland questions
Council bushland, koalas and park burns
How much of the bush here does the council own?
A good deal. In May 2026 the City bought another Maudsland property, home to koalas, glossy black cockatoos and squirrel gliders, which brought its holding to 198 hectares of council-owned conservation estate in Maudsland, linked to Nerang National Park. On the estate side of a boundary, every tree is the City's to manage.
Is the bush near Maudsland homes mapped for fire?
Parts of Macrozamia Environmental Reserve are mapped as Very High Potential Bushfire Intensity on the City Plan's bushfire hazard overlay, with other parts High or Medium. On the national park side, the state's fire history lists planned burns located at Burley Griffin Drive. Beside either, pruning trees and shrubs back from the walls, roof and gutters and lifting the low limbs is worth doing before the fire season.
