Tree work in Diddillibah
Two creeks meeting the river
Queensland Places puts Diddillibah immediately west of Maroochydore, where the Eudlo and Petrie Creeks enter the Maroochy River, and part of it is flood plain. Low ground there stays wet after floods and heavy rain, and trees in saturated soil can sit on shallow root plates that give way in strong wind. The same soft ground decides where a truck, a crane or a stump grinder can be set up.
The northern boundary follows the Petrie Creek upstream for about 2 km and then the Paynter Creek for about 6 km to Woombye. Many blocks run down to one creek or the other, where trees lean out over the water and the banks can be soft or steep, and that decides how a tree is reached and where its wood can land.

Diddillibah questions
Flying-foxes, a protected park and an old cemetery
Where do flying-foxes roost in Diddillibah?
Council's roost data records a site listed as Eudlo Conservation Park, Diddillibah. The bats are protected animals, so a tree in or next to the roost is only cut when the colony's timing allows, often after the bats have moved on, and blocks beside it can face the same wait.
Who looks after the bush along Eudlo Creek?
The state. Queensland's protected areas data lists Eudlo Creek Conservation Park, about 99.6 hectares, as a conservation park under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. Its trees cannot be cut back from a neighbouring block, and boundary work keeps branches, sawdust and machinery on the private side.
Are the cemetery trees heritage listed?
The cemetery is. The planning scheme maps Diddillibah Cemetery as a Local Heritage Place, so council manages the trees among its graves, and next-door work is planned so that no limb falls among the headstones.
