City Centre palm tree maintenance January 2025

Published on 17 January 2025

Council staff will begin scheduled maintenance of palm trees in the Mackay City Centre next week.

The maintenance will start on Tuesday, January 21, and will include removing dead fronds, cutting away visible fruit stalks and removing seed pods.

Arborists will be on site between the hours of 5am and 8.30am on weekdays and they will be carrying out maintenance on trees located on Wood, Nelson, Macalister, Victoria and Sydney streets, Mangrove Road, Matsuura Drive and the Memorial Swim Centre car park.

Work on Sydney Street has been scheduled for Saturday, January 25, to minimise disruption to the public and to avoid the heavy traffic on this road during the week.

The maintenance is expected to be completed by Tuesday, January 28, weather permitting.

Full traffic control will be in place and some road/lane closures will be required during the work.

Residents are asked to obey all instructions from council staff and traffic control officers.

The work is part of council’s annual maintenance program.
