Tree work in Woongoolba

A state conservation park of paperbark on wet ground

Woongoolba Conservation Park is one of the conservation parks named in Queensland's Nature Conservation (Protected Areas) Regulation, which sets them out under the Act. Its trees are protected area vegetation, neither the landholder's nor council street trees. When a branch from the park reaches over a neighbouring fence, it is worth raising with the park's managing authority before anything is cut, and nothing from a job next door goes into the park.

Inside the park, the City's vegetation mapping shows broad-leaved paperbark open forest on alluvium, with paperbark and swamp oak forest in another part. Broad-leaved paperbarks grow on wet, poorly drained ground, so a big one on a neighbouring block comes down in sections, and the ground is tested for softness before a machine goes on it. Their papery bark and leaf litter add to the green waste as well.

Woongoolba questions

A fire-mapped park, mangroves at Rocky Point and long carries

Does the bushfire overlay cover the conservation park?

The City Plan's bushfire hazard area overlay maps Woongoolba Conservation Park as High Potential Bushfire Intensity, with Potential Impact Buffer also mapped on the park. Homes and sheds next to that paperbark forest are worth getting ready before the fire season, with a gap pruned between the foliage and the roof, the lower branches raised and the gutters cleared. The park's own trees are not the owner's to cut.

What grows in Rocky Point Reserve?

The City's map of vegetation types puts grey mangrove open forest and swamp oak open forest on marine deposits there, with marine couch grassland, common reed grassland and claypan with samphire. Where that wet marine ground reaches the edge of a property, it is soft under a machine, and swamp oaks rooted shallow in it can come over in a big storm.

How does the size of a holding change a tree job?

Mostly through distance. On the City Plan's property boundary data, Woongoolba has a median lot of 81,350 square metres among lots of 250 square metres or more. Holdings that size are measured in hectares, and a tree on one can stand well back from the road, so the quote covers the walk or tracked gear over the paddock, ground that softens after rain, and chipping on site rather than hauling the green waste away.
