Townsville City Council is undertaking management works at the Corica Street drain and Horseshoe Bay Lagoon on Magnetic Island to improve drainage system to improve water flow and support the long-term health of the lagoon.

Significant rainfall during 2024/25 resulted in sediment being washed through the Corica Street drainage system and deposited within Horseshoe Bay Lagoon, reducing water movement and impacting lagoon health. These works will remove accumulated sediment from the lagoon and sections of the drainage system, while undertaking minor revegetation to stabilise drain banks, improve water quality and support the long-term health of this important environmental asset.

A local Magnetic Island contractor has been engaged to carry out the works.

As part of these works, the contractor will:

• use machinery to excavate and removeaccumulated sediment from the lagoon
• transport removed sediment to an approved disposal site for reuse where appropriate
• restore the lagoons capacity and improve environmental function.

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

• workers and machinery operating within the work area
• trucks entering and leaving the site
• increased levels of dust, noise and flashing lights
• temporary changes to access around the works area
• traffic management in place if required.

Council will make every effort to minimise impacts to residents, visitors and the surrounding environment while works are underway.

Townsville City Council is continuing work on the Gouldian Avenue Water Main Upgrade to improve water supply reliability and support future growth in the Upper Ross area.

The next phase of works involves the installation of a new water main on the southern side of Gouldian Avenue, between Pinnacle Drive and Eider Court.

There will be no planned water supply interruptions during these works. The existing water main will remain in place and will continue to operate as normal.

As part of the installation works, Council will:

• install a new water main along Gouldian Avenue
• excavate a trench along the roadside in front of properties along Gouldian Avenue, between Pinnacle Drive and Eider Court
• backfill and reinstate work areas as construction progresses.

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

• temporary restrictions to driveway access while works are undertaken in front of properties.

Residents will not be able to access their driveways while works are taking place in front of their property. Depending on the location of works, this temporary restriction may be in place for up to four days.

Council's contractor will contact affected property owners at least 48 hours before works commence outside their property and will work with residents to maintain access wherever possible.

Phase Two, resurfacing of Gouldian Avenue, is funded by the Queensland Government.

Council is undertaking the Riverway Drive Pipeline Decommissioning project to safely decommission redundant water infrastructure within the Riverway Drive corridor.

The DN1200 Pre-stressed Concrete Pipeline (PCP) was constructed in the 1970s to transport raw water from Ross River Dam to the Douglas Water Treatment Plant. Following the construction of a new pipeline in 2024, the old pipeline was taken out of service and is no longer required.

Council will now permanently decommission the remaining sections of the redundant pipeline to meet Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) requirements and reduce risks associated with ageing underground infrastructure.

Works will focus on decommissioning two remaining sections of the former pipeline, including:

• excavation to access sections of the redundant pipeline
• filling and decommissioning the pipeline in accordance with engineering requirements
• associated reinstatement and site restoration works.

During construction, nearby residents and road users may notice:

• construction vehicles, machinery and workers operating in the area
• increased noise, dust and vibration during work hours
• temporary traffic management and changed traffic conditions
• reduced speed limits near work zones.

Residents along Riverway Drive within the work area may also experience temporary disruptions where works are taking place near driveway access points.

Council will work to minimise disruptions wherever possible and appreciates the community's patience and understanding while these important works are completed.

Council is undertaking construction works to deliver a new underground water main and associated infrastructure along seven identified road corridors in Wulguru.

Minor water outages may occur during the works. Council will notify affected properties in advance to reduce any inconvenience.

Townsville City Council will continue with water main installation works as part of the Murray Street Civil and Utilities Upgrade.

To complete these works, crews will install a new section of water main across Murray Street and connect it to the existing water network near Victoria Street.

This work will require another temporary road closure.

Residential access will be maintained while these works are undertaken and managed under a “Hold and Release” system to maintain safety.

The road will be reopened to traffic at the end of each day.

As part of the project, Council will:

• implement a temporary road closure, managed under a “Hold & Release” system
• excavate and reinstate the road surface
