Tree removal in Loganholme: good to know

  1. Stay clear first

    Keep out of floodwater and away from trees that have tilted or lost soil at the base. If one is on the house or blocking the way out, call the SES, or 000 if anyone is in danger.

  2. Photograph it before anything moves

    Take photos and video of the tree, the soil around it and any damage. Your insurer will want them, and so will the arborist.

  3. Have the tree assessed

    Once it's safe, get an arborist to look at trees that stood in water. Ask what has changed since the flood, not just whether the leaves look fine.

  4. Check the overlays before cutting

    A flood doesn't switch off Logan's planning scheme. Look up the lot in the Logan PD Hub for waterway corridor and vegetation management mapping before a removal is booked.

Tree removal in Loganholme: what's local

Named for a ferryman

Logan City Council says the name came from Holmes, who ran the Logan River ferry here in 1867 and 1868. The Loganholme Bridge opened on 1 July 1931, and in the early 1950s the Albert Shire made Logan Park underneath it as a stop for travellers.

Floods on the record

Council's local history notes major flooding in January 1887 that badly damaged the surrounding farms. Across the city, the big floods came in the late 1880s, 1947 and 1974, and in 2022 the Logan River reached its highest urban levels since 1974.

Koalas in the park

Council calls Alexander Clark Park, Loganholme, a popular place to watch koalas in the wild, and says koalas are endangered under Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992.

The waterway overlay

Logan says all native vegetation clearing inside the mapped Waterway Corridor and Wetland Overlay needs approval. On a block near the river or a creek, that's the first layer to look for.

Tree pruning and lopping in Loganholme

Plenty of people here search for tree lopping when a tree has grown too big or started dropping limbs. Arborists use the word more narrowly: cutting branches back to stubs, which AS 4373-2007 lists as an unacceptable practice, and the regrowth is often poorly attached.

Ask for reduction or crown thinning instead, or a removal if the tree has failed. For a native, check the overlays first: Logan's secondary vegetation starts at native trees over 4 metres tall with a trunk 31.5 centimetres around, measured 1.3 metres from the ground.

Hiring an arborist in Loganholme

We'd pull up the Flood Portal report and the PD Hub overlays together, because on a low block the same trees tend to show up in both. After a flood, we'd photograph first and get an arborist's opinion before deciding anything comes out. And if koalas have been seen in the tree, we'd talk to council before the quote, not after.

Tree removal and tree loppers in Loganholme: common questions

Who decides if a riverside tree in Loganholme can come out?

Logan City Council, through its planning scheme overlays. Where council's criteria don't cover the clearing, it takes an Operational Works application with the reasons, the owner's consent and a site plan.

Where can I see whether my Loganholme block floods?

The Logan Flood Portal gives flood mapping and a flood report for a property. It's worth a look before you plant a big tree close to the house, too.
