Council’s Principal Arborist has recently completed a detailed inspection of two Alstonia scholaris trees located within the Amaroo Early Learning Centre, Petunia Street, Aitkenvale.

The decision to remove this tree is made based on the certified arborist’s report, which confirms that the tree is in poor health and has become a risk to the surrounding infrastructure and a high risk to public safety.

Unfortunately, no further arboriculturally management practices can be recommended to safely retain the tree.

Works will include:

• removal of the tree and mulching
• suitable replacement trees will be planted near the removed tree to replace the equivalent lost canopy cover.

If you visit 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 temporary section closures, minor commuter delays and reduced speed limits.

What works are coming up?
Townsville City Council is preparing to relocate water mains at the intersection of Decourcey and Haughton Streets at Ross River Road.

This will allow RoadTek, in partnership with GNM, to undertake a significant renewal project.

This project requires some water main relocations, resulting in a temporary interruption to your property’s water supply.

What will the works include?
As part of these works Council will:

• isolate the water main and move it to allow RoadTek to complete their intersection upgrade works

What does this mean for me?
If you live in or are travelling through the area, you may experience:

• temporary water interruption between 9am – 3pm
• construction machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
• temporary disruptions to vehicle access to properties and some on street parking

Important
When the water supply is restored the initial water supply may be discoloured, if necessary, run taps until the discolouration disappears. Automatic washing machines should be turned off during this water shut-off.

Council is now in the final stages of planning the delivery of the Hamilton Tank Reservoir renewal, including associated infrastructure
works next to the Goat Track adjacent to Hillside Crescent in Castle Hill.

This initiative reflects Council’s commitment to investing $352 million this year to enhance roads, transport infrastructure, parks, and
water systems – ensuring that all properties continue to receive efficient and reliable water services.

As part of this project, Council will:

• install a temporary water tank to maintain water supply
• remove and replace the existing reservoir tank with a new fit-for purpose tank
• upgrade access ladders, supports, pipework, and remote monitoring systems.

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

• construction machinery and vehicle movement
• increased levels of dust, noise, and vibrations
• temporary, short-term closure of the walking track adjacent to the work zone
• water outages may occur during the works. Council will notify affected properties in advance to reduce any inconvenience.

Townsville City Council is progressing with the underground water main and pathway upgrades near the intersection of Gregory and Mitchell Street in North Ward.

The intersection near Vitti Café will be temporarily closed to traffic while pavers are being removed, and new stormwater grates installed. Council assures businesses that access will remain open to the public throughout these works.

We are entering the final stages of the upgrades and night works will take place in the area over the coming weeks. We estimate a practical completion date of Monday 17 November 2025.

Scheduled works will continue throughout the working week, with limited activity occurring over the weekend depending on weather and project conditions.

In addition, night works are planned on the following dates:

• Wednesday 5 November
• Thursday 6 November
• Friday 7 November.

As part of the works Council will:

• remove existing pavers
• set-up form work for concrete pours
• pour concrete
• install stormwater grates
• apply sealer.

If you work in, reside 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 lane closures, minor traffic delays and reduced speed limits
• temporary loss of on-street parking and disruption to the outdoor dining areas.

Normal work hours are from 6am for day works and 5pm for night works.

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