Slope Remediation

Townsville City Council has been carrying out rockfall protection and slope stabilisation works along Stanley Street and will now commence similar remedial works on Castle Hill Road.

Council is preparing to commence works on Castle Hill Road on Friday 12 September. To facilitate these works, the road will be closed to vehicles from Monday to Friday during work hours. Pedestrian and cyclist access will remain unaffected. A detour map is included with this notification.

As part of these works, Council will:

• remove unstable portions of the slope
• shape the remaining slope to a consistent grade
• install soil nails and mesh

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

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

This project is funded by Townsville City Council.
