A flooding river and a replanted reserve
In February 2022 major flooding occurred along the Mooloolah River at Palmview, and the Bureau of Meteorology recorded a peak of 5.04 metres there on 26 February, the highest since records began in 2003. Ground that soaked can loosen the roots of a big tree, and a block may need time to dry before a truck can get in without bogging.
In 2022 the council was turning 60 hectares of former pastureland in the Lower Mooloolah River Environmental Reserve back into bush, planting 90,000 native shrubs and trees. That land is the council's to look after, and as the planting grows, the fence lines beside it will get more shade and more leaf litter.

Palmview questions
Bats in the reserve, fire in the park
Can trees near Frizzos Reserve be cut back at any time?
Not always. The council's records of bat roosts list a flying-fox roost site at Frizzos Reserve, so work on trees beside it is timed around when the bats are there.
Has the conservation park burnt?
Yes. Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service fire history maps a burnt area of about 69 hectares in the north-east of Palmview Conservation Park. On blocks near that bush, branches over the roof and leaves in the gutters are worth dealing with before the fire season.
