Tree removal in Jindalee: what's local

The river side

The Brisbane River forms Jindalee's northern border, and council provides a riverside park with a boat ramp on the north-western edge. Waterway and wetland vegetation is a protected category in Brisbane, and council's waterway corridors follow the City Plan 2014 overlay maps.

Centenary gardens

Jindalee was grazing and dairy land until the Hooker Centenary Project began building it in 1960. Gardens planted then are now full grown. Mangoes, poincianas and jacarandas join the significant landscape tree schedule at 80 cm trunk diameter, under the 2013 consolidation.

Flood history

Wikipedia says the 1974 floods inundated many Jindalee houses and the 2011 floods badly affected the suburb. Trees that sat in floodwater, or on banks that slumped, deserve a proper look before the next storm season.

Who handles wires

Jindalee is on Energex's network. A tree brought down onto a street line is reported to Energex, and 000 if anyone is in danger.

Storm damage and fallen trees in Jindalee

  1. People first

    Call 000 if anyone is trapped or hurt. For a tree that has damaged the house or blocks the way in or out, Queensland SES takes calls.

  2. Treat lines as live

    Stay well clear of any fallen powerline, warn others and report it to Energex.

  3. Photograph before anything moves

    Take photos and video of the damage, and talk to your insurer before paying for temporary work.

  4. Keep out from under it

    A tree that's leaning, or has a lifted root plate, can keep moving. Leave it to an arborist to assess.

  5. Tell council

    Brisbane's fact sheet says work on a tree showing obvious immediate hazard needs photos, plus an arborist report if asked, sent to council within 10 business days. Ring council to check how that applies.

Common tree jobs in Jindalee

Big mangoes and poincianas over roofs, river-side gums with deadwood (dead branches still on the tree), and stumps left from storm clean-ups are the regulars. For a healthy old tree, a careful prune is often a better answer than a removal.

Hiring an arborist in Jindalee

We'd ask council for its protected vegetation report on the address, then walk the riverside end of the yard with an arborist and talk about every tree there, not just the one that prompted the call. One visit after a wet season can sort out several small problems before they become one big one.

Tree removal and tree loppers in Jindalee: common questions

Are the riverbank trees on my Jindalee block mine to manage?

They may be on your title, but waterway and wetland vegetation is a protected category in Brisbane. Get council's report, or ring council, before any pruning or removal near the bank.

How big does a mango have to be to count as significant?

The schedule in the 2013 consolidation lists mangoes from 80 cm trunk diameter, measured 1.4m above natural ground, in set cases such as certain zones, registers or protection orders. A tape measure gives you a starting point to discuss with council.
