Fencing Maintenance Works

Townsville City Council is replacing 280 meters of deteriorated timber fencing between Riverside Boulevard and The Ring Road in Douglas.

Council is delivering these works as part of our Road Maintenance Performance Contract within the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR).

Additionally, approximately 500 meters of neighbouring DTMR fencing along The Ring Road will undergo maintenance to extend its lifespan.

Works to be carried out:

• remove the existing 1.8-meter-high fence and installing a new, 2-meter high, double paled timber fence
• replacing damaged palings and corroded posts and installing bracing where necessary

If you live near or are travelling through the area, you may experience:

• construction machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
• temporary parking changes, including lane closures, minor traffic delays and reduced speed limits.

Project delivered in partnership with the Department of Transport and Main Road and delivered by Townsville City Council.
