Storm damage and fallen trees in Victoria Point

Redland City Council calls severe thunderstorms Victoria Point's most common natural hazard, and fallen trees can close local roads. If anyone is hurt or trapped, call 000. For a tree through the roof or blocking the way out, ring the SES. A tree on a power line is Energex's job: call them and keep well back.

Tree removal in Victoria Point: what's local

The Eprapah Creek corridor

Eprapah Creek divides Victoria Point from Thornlands. Council says the suburb's largest bushfire hazard area runs along that corridor from Point O'Halloran to Kingfisher Road. Homes next to bushland, including Clay Gully and the Egret Colony wetlands, face a higher risk of ember attack.

Firebreaks are a council question

Redland says clearing for a firebreak has to be essential management under Schedule 24 of the Planning Regulation 2017, and council itself can't advise on bushfire risk. Talk to council before clearing for fire, and read bushfire clearing.

Koala gums

Koalas live right across the Redlands, council says, including in backyards. Tallowwood, grey gum, scribbly gum and Queensland blue gum are local favourites, and their breeding season generally runs July to December.

Water and soft ground

Council lists creek flooding, flash flooding and storm tide as Victoria Point's main flood risks, with limited landslide risk mostly in parkland and bushland and a few homes north of the Redland Bay Golf Course. Wet or unstable ground changes how a big tree can come down.

Across to Coochiemudlo

The ferry to Coochiemudlo Island leaves from Victoria Point. Island jobs mean getting the gear over the water first.

Common tree jobs in Victoria Point

Gums close to houses on the bush edge, storm-broken limbs, and dead trees are the main calls. Council asks you to check before removing a dead tree, because a covenant or building envelope may cover it.

For pruning, council recommends AS 4373-2007 and a qualified arborist of at least AQF3. Ask whoever quotes which level they hold.

Hiring an arborist in Victoria Point

On a block that backs onto the Eprapah Creek bush, we'd ring council before any clearing or removal, and ask about overlays and firebreaks in the same call. Then we'd book an arborist to look at the trees nearest the house first, since those carry the most risk in a storm.

Tree removal and tree loppers in Victoria Point: common questions

Does Redland need a report for a dangerous protected tree?

Yes. Council says an arborist with at least AQF5 must assess whether protected vegetation is a hazard, and the Tree Assessment Report goes with the application. It looks at health, structure, wind, drainage and past limb failures, among other things.

What happens if protected trees come down without approval?

Redland City Council treats it as an offence, and penalties can include fines or an order to restore the vegetation. Ask first.
