Dangerous 22-Metre Tree Removal at Mission Beach Unit Complex

Donna Dec 14, 2025

Removing large, dangerous trees in built-up coastal environments requires experience, planning, and the right equipment. Recently, LSF Tree & Vegetation Services was engaged to remove a 22-metre dead tree growing immediately alongside a unit complex in Mission Beach, posing a serious risk to residents, buildings, and nearby infrastructure.

Assessing a High-Risk Tree

The tree was fully dead, structurally compromised, and located within close proximity to units, walkways, and shared areas. Due to its height and condition, traditional felling methods were not an option. Any uncontrolled movement could have resulted in significant property damage or personal injury.

A detailed site inspection and risk assessment were undertaken before works commenced, with a removal plan developed to safely dismantle the tree in sections.

Safety in a Live Residential Environment

Working within an occupied unit complex required careful coordination with residents and property managers. Safety zones were established, exclusion areas maintained, and constant communication ensured minimal disruption while maintaining a high level of safety throughout the operation.

All works were completed in line with documented Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and site-specific risk controls.

Professional Results with Minimal Disruption

The tree was successfully removed without damage to surrounding buildings, gardens, or infrastructure. All debris was safely lowered, processed, and removed from site, leaving the area clean and safe for residents.
