Mackay Significant Tree Register
The Mackay Significant Tree Register aims to identify, document and recognise the importance of significant trees on council managed land in Mackay, to guide their management and ensure their protection for future generations.
Trees provide environmental benefits, including shade and filtering of air pollutants, contribute to a sense of place and an area's unique character, provide habitat for wildlife and are an important part of the natural landscape.
Trees can be significant for a variety of reasons including; their age, size, rarity, historical associations or contribution to the landscape.
The register contains 520 trees including the large Rain tree at the Mackay Showgrounds, the avenue of Mangos trees along Mango Ave, Eimeo and several large Kauri Pines in Anzac Park, Seaforth.
