Council to undertake safety tree works at Babinda Boulders

Published: 10th October 2025. (Note: information was correct at date of publication but may have since been changed or superseded.)

Disruptions will occur at Babinda Boulders from Monday 13 October to Wednesday 15 October while tree removal works are carried out to ensure public safety following recent debris wash-in.

Large trees that have washed into the main swimming area during recent weather events will be removed, requiring a temporary exclusion zone at the primary swimming pool and picnic area.

Access to this area will be restricted throughout the works period. The exclusion zone is expected to be lifted by Thursday 16 October, 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.
