Tree work in Cooloolabin
Wildfire country above a water supply
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service fire history maps a wildfire of about 409 hectares in Mapleton National Park, with its ignition dated August 2004. Another wildfire, in June 2017, burnt park forest north of the Browns Creek fire management trail. That trail starts at Point Glorious Road, so the fire came close to the road. With that record, the trees nearest a house are kept back from the roof and gutters, dead wood comes out, and thick growth beside the house is thinned before the fire season.
The planning scheme maps a water supply storage inside Cooloolabin as land subject to the water resource catchments overlay. Tree work on land that drains to it keeps sawdust, green waste and fuel out of the water, and away from the creeks that feed it.

Cooloolabin questions
Trail-head burns and the roadside reserve
Is the park near the trail head burnt on purpose?
Yes. On 21 June 2021 the parks service lit planned burns in Mapleton National Park, the larger between the Cooloolabin Trail Head and the Bottle and Glass fire management trail. Work close to the park is booked around burn days, when smoke can stop it.
Who looks after the bushland reserve in Cooloolabin?
Council. Only one reserve appears on its open space register for the locality, the Yandina-Cooloolabin Road Bushland Conservation Reserve, and it is kept as bushland. If your land adjoins it, the trees on its side are council's, and a job near that boundary begins by sorting out which trees stand on private land.
