Tree works scheduled at Babinda Boulders
Published: 1st December 2025. (Note: information was correct at date of publication but may have since been changed or superseded.)
Disruptions will occur at Babinda Boulders on Wednesday 3 December (weather permitting) while tree removal works are carried out to ensure public safety following debris wash-in.
Large tree trunks that remained after initial tree works will be removed, requiring a temporary exclusion zone at the primary swimming pool. Access to picnic area, toilet block, BBQs and walking tracks will still be available.
Access to this area will be restricted throughout the works period. The exclusion zone is expected to be lifted by Thursday 4 December, subject to weather conditions and any unforeseen issues.
Visitors are encouraged to use alternative upstream swimming areas during this time. Please note that swimming downstream remains prohibited.
Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.
