Cook pine dieback by the surf club
Cook pines near the Mudjimba Surf Life Saving Club have shown top-down dieback, likely from the soil-borne Phytophthora pathogen. It lives in the soil and attacks the roots, so a pine browning from the top is checked before anyone prunes it, and boots, tools and soil are kept clean between trees so the disease is not carried to a healthy one.
To replace the failing pine, the council chose a young Cook pine because of strong onshore winds, salt spray and the retained trees around it, so the park keeps its coastal wind buffer. Trees near the beach here are picked and pruned with that wind in mind.

Mudjimba questions
Cyclone Alfred, a reserve burn and the conservation park
How hard did Cyclone Alfred hit the beachfront?
Hard. After ex-tropical cyclone Alfred in March 2025, a news report said Mudjimba Beach was significantly impacted, and the council said fallen trees and debris had ended up over pathways, steps and beach accesses along the coast. Yard trees near the beach are worth checking after a storm like that for snapped limbs, leaning trunks and roots loosened in wet sand.
Does the council burn the bushland reserve?
Yes, to manage the fuel in it. Its 2026 planned burn list includes a pending burn of about 3 hectares in the bushland conservation reserve. Homes beside it should have dead wood cleared and branches over the roof cut back, and the boundary confirmed before any work on a fence-line tree.
Can the conservation park's trees be cut back from next door?
No. Queensland Places records that Mudjimba takes in the part of Maroochy River Conservation Park north of Ocean Drive, with the caravan park set into its north-east corner, and the trees in it are state protected. Near that edge, the first job is confirming the tree stands on private land.
