Street Tree Planting

Townsville City Council plans to plant two trees along Armand Way, directly across from Alma Bay Park and beside 14 Armand Way in Arcadia.

These works are part of the Arcadia Bus Service Reroute project and Council's commitment to the Island community to revegetate Armand Way following the installation of new bus stop infrastructure supporting Translink's recent service route changes.

The selected tree species is Calophyllum inophyllum, commonly known as the Beauty Leaf. This large tree is typically found along coastal areas and is known for its resilience to cyclones.

A local contractor will undertake preliminary construction work for Council before our maintenance team begins the planting activities.

As part of these works, Council will remove the concrete infill from the two medians, as illustrated, and add soil in preparation for tree planting. We will provide further information regarding tree planting activities following these works.

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 closure of carparks directly beside the medians.
