We saw sulphur cresteds doing that very thing today on Black Mountain peninsula during ANU Bird Survey.

Cockatoo pairs keep an eye on likely hollows all through the winter and make periodic inspections and renovations so they can be ready to breed in spring. I've seen Galhas do a similar thing what you're describing in April.

In a mature Yellow Box this morning at the western end of Deakin, a pair of Gang-gangs paying very close attention to nesting holes, the male shooing off other birds while the female was exploring the nest options.  The male looked stressed :-)

BTW  Ganggang, Gang gang or Gang-gang?  Which is correct?
