Townsville City Council is committed to protecting the natural environment and ensuring community safety from bushfires. Council has acquired a heavy lift remotely piloted aircraft system capable of transporting and dropping water drums to areas with limited vehicle access and water availability. This technology will be a key asset in Council’s fire management efforts, offering an efficient and effective means of combating fires and ensuring the safety of the community.

Council is undertaking a second round of testing of the Bushfire Management Drone, to be undertaken in two stages:

• Stage 1: Oonoonba Park, Oonoonba from 8am – 5pm, Monday 11 December through to Wednesday 13 December 2023 inclusive
• Stage 2: Castle Hill, Townsville City from 7am – 4pm, Thursday 14 December 2023.

Drone testing will involve flight tests and water dropping, to provide training to Council staff for future use within the city’s bushfire management procedures. To prioritise safety, the test-flight sites will be closed to the public during testing. The drone will be kept clear of houses and infrastructure.

Residents and businesses close to the works may experience some temporary impacts including:

• temporary closure of Oonoonba Park and Castle Hill Road and all walking tracks on the days and times highlighted above
• commercial drone operations
• safety fencing / cones and/or barricading
• noise, flashing lights and dust.

Council is preparing to connect the new Elliot Springs reservoir to the existing water network in the area.

The construction of the steel reservoir is almost complete and can hold around 9.6 million litres of water, equivalent to four Olympic swimming pools. Once finished, the reservoir, delivered in partnership with Landlease, will serve the large master-planned community for many years to come.

To connect the new reservoir, Council plans to isolate a section of the local water network between 10pm on Thursday 30 November 2023 and 4am on Friday 1 December 2023. These activities will result in a loss of water supply to your property during this time.
Suburbs affected by this water disruption include Nome, Alligator Creek, and Julago.

It is essential to prepare by storing enough water in containers before this water disruption. When Council restores the water supply, it may initially appear discoloured. To address this, run taps until the discolouration disappears. Furthermore, Council recommends turning off automatic washing machines during this time.

Council will have complimentary bottled water available for residents to collect at the Ampol service station in Alligator Creek and the BP service station in Elliot Springs.

Council is duplicating the Ross River Dam to Douglas Water Treatment Plant pipeline, a key water infrastructure asset essential to Townsville’s water supply which provides 85% of the city’s water. The new duplicate pipeline will further enhance Townsville’s water security.
