COUNCIL arborists will begin tree removals at Queens Park, weather permitting.

The trees being removed have either been condemned by arborists due to safety concerns, are self-sown common species, or form part of the Queens Park Revitalisation project.

The trees that have been condemned suffer from a variety of health-related issues including bracket fungi, storm damage and structural faults, among others.

Council is also looking into the opportunity to replace some of the common self-sown tree
species with more unique varieties, that have a better fit with the history of the park and the Queens Park Revitalisation project.

Works associated with the $8.8 million Queens Park Revitalisation project are funded by the
Queensland Government’s Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) and this is
the first project being delivered as part of Mackay’s Waterfront priority
development area.

Come and visit our stand at Global Grooves to view the draft masterplan, speak to the project team and have your say.
