Council's Principal Arborist recently conducted a thorough inspection of the Yule Street, Picnic Bay amenities renewal site and identified three (3) Foxtail palm trees for removal. The decision to remove the palms was made based on Council’s certified arborist's report, with safety and the successful completion of the amenities renewal project as a priority.
Council recognises the value of trees and is committed to minimising the impact of their removal by carefully planning replanting and proper placement.
Location: Yule Street, Picnic Bay – Magnetic Island
Timing: Monday 3 March 2025 for one (1) day
Hours: 6am to 6pm
As part of this project, Council will:
• remove and mulch three (3) palm trees
• plant replacement trees near the removed trees to replace the equivalent lost canopy cover.
If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:
• construction machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
• the palm tree removals will be part of the ongoing construction of the new amenities on Yule Street, Picnic Bay
This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland program.
