Gympie Regional Council will be removing four Tuckeroo trees at the One Mile Sports Complex due to Tea Shot-hole Borer pest infestation.
The four trees have sustained extensive damage, including limb failure, and have been assessed as posing an imminent safety risk to visitors to the sports complex.
Additional trees at the facility have also been identified as being affected by the pest. Council will continue to closely monitor these trees and undertake targeted sanitation pruning to help minimise the spread of the infestation while supporting the ongoing health of the remaining trees.
Scheduled removal dates: Monday, 12 October and Tuesday, 13 October 2026.
Community safety
To ensure community safety during the removal works, traffic control measures and exclusion zones will be in place. Visitors are asked to follow all signage and directions from onsite personnel.
