Water Main Upgrades

Townsville City Council is currently undertaking underground water main upgrades at four locations near the intersection of Gregory and Mitchell Streets in North Ward.

Due to the nature of these works, traffic detours will be in place. Motorists should follow all traffic control directions and detours.

This project forms part of Council’s annual water maintenance program, which aims to maintain and enhance Council-controlled water networks to ensure our community’s connectivity needs are met and support the ongoing growth of our region.

As part of these works, the Council will construct new water mains under the road near the Mitchell and Gregory Streets roundabout.

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

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

Proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland program in association with Townsville City Council.
