Tree work in Currimundi
Cyclone-cut dunes and old lagoon ground
Queensland Places records that dunal erosion from Cyclone Hamish occurred at Currimundi in 2009. Trees on the dune edge and on beachfront blocks can lose sand from around their roots in a big swell.
Queensland Places also notes that Coondibah Creek, another waterway near Currimundi, was once backed by an extensive lagoon. Ground that was lagoon can be low-lying and wet, so trees there often root shallowly in soft soil and are more prone to blowing over.

Currimundi questions
Dune screens and park signs
Can dune trees be trimmed to open up the view?
Not the ones on the dune. In 2012 council installed a 5 metre by 22 metre screen in a dunal foreshore area at Currimundi to thwart the illegal clearing of vegetation to improve beachfront views. Dune vegetation here sits in council's foreshore reserve, so a beachfront job starts by confirming where the private boundary ends.
What about a park tree hanging over the fence?
Ask council first. A council spokesperson said damage to vegetation at Frank McIvor Park had been targeted, and that no further damage had been seen since a vegetation damage sign went up there. A park tree on or over a private boundary is council's to deal with, so pruning toward it waits for council's answer.
