In 2019, severe flooding was experienced across the city. As a result of river and creek bank erosion and risk of further erosion occurring, the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) have allocated funding to be delivered in partnership with the Council for several carefully selected sites across the city where the risk of further erosion has been deemed likely in the future.

General

Townsville City Council is committed to delivering quality services for our community and has allocated a budget nearing $400 million to improving our infrastructure.

Hazard reduction burns

Council is committed to ensuring the safety of our community, with a dedicated Emergency Management team planning for natural hazards and undertaking strategic measures to mitigate the associated risks.

Council conducts hazard reduction burns during the dry season each year as part of Council’s Bushfire Management Plan, to prevent the spread of bushfire and protect lives, property, and infrastructure. These controlled burns reduce the build-up of flammable fuel loads such as leaf litter, grasses, and shrubs.

Please check back for updates to the controlled burn schedule as the year progresses.
